Hi Ricardo,

I agree. I did not play 1.5e128 chess games so far. 

In my previous mail I wrote about "theoretically possible" chess games.
Maybe that was wrong, and I should have written "really possible"?

An interesting philosophical question: What is the nature of a
possibility? Does a possibility really exist, or does it only have a
possible existence in reality? 

Fact is, that there can be about 1.5e128 different chess games with
40 moves each. And for instance, someone who writes a chess program
should really take this fact into consideration.

Best regards,
