There are a lot of possible games...but are there are lot of moves too?
NOTE: At the 8 minute mark I say the "sets are identical" and I am referring to the *size* of the set. In a PGN, the pawn moves for black will be recorded differently than those for white.
For example, the strongest move in any position "b2-b4" can only be played by white.
In this analysis, I used "enhanced hyphenated long algebraic form" notation as specified with the use of the pgn-extract program found here. [https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/djb/pgn-extract/ written by David J. Barnes.]
