What about that Shannon number ?It's an interesting number.
It's named after an American mathematician named Claude Shannon.
Somewhere around 1957, he tried to calculate the number of possible outcomes of a game of Chess after each opponent had made two moves.
He was only able to establish the absolute lower boundary of the number.
The upper boundary has yet to be determined by contemporary mathematicians.
It's a finite number, unlike the square root of Pi, but it's the cause of never-ending debate.
Nevertheless, it's generally accepted that Shannon's lower boundaryof the number of possible iterations of a ganme of Chess is greater than the number of atoms in the observable Universe.
If you doubt that for one second, just google "the Shannon number."
You'd be better off not wasting your time and just trusting me.
