Homework Statement
Given a standard chess board consisting of 64 squares with each game taking a total of 40 moves. Calculate the total number of games which can be played. You are to assume a stalemate situation occurring on the 40th move a completed game.
The Attempt at a Solution
So there are 20 possible moves at the start of the game. 20 for white and 20 for black. There are a total of 400 possible games which consist of only 2 moves in total.
This is as far as I got, I literally have no idea how to calculate this.
