While most games last less than 400 or even 200 moves, many more are possible. The total number of possible games is a function both of the size of the board and the number of moves played.
INFINITESIMALS GAME PROFESSIONAL
For example, 400 moves, as seen in some professional games, would be one out of 361 400 or 1 × 10 1023 possible games. Another common derivation is to assume N intersections and L longest game for N L total games. The most commonly quoted number for the number of possible games, 10 700 is derived from a simple permutation of 361 moves or 361! = 10 768. The lower bound was improved to a googolplex by Walraet and Tromp.
For the number of theoretically possible games, including games impossible to play in practice, Tromp and Farnebäck give lower and upper bounds of 10 10 48 and 10 10 171 respectively. The computer scientist Victor Allis notes that typical games between experts last about 150 moves, with an average of about 250 choices per move, suggesting a game-tree complexity of 10 360. Though actual games seem never to last longer than n 2 (legal positions) ( A094777) Go with superko is not known to be in PSPACE. This is proved by reducing True Quantified Boolean Formula, which is known to be PSPACE-complete, to generalized geography, to planar generalized geography, to planar generalized geography with maximum degree 3, finally to Go positions.
Go is “almost” in PSPACE, since in normal play, moves are not reversible, and it is only through capture that there is the possibility of the repeating patterns necessary for a harder complexity. Generalized Go is played on n × n boards, and the computational complexity of determining the winner in a given position of generalized Go depends crucially on the ko rules. Conway led to the invention of the surreal numbers and contributed to development of combinatorial game theory (with Go Infinitesimals being a specific example of its use in Go). In more recent years, research of the game by John H. Shen Kuo, an 11th century Chinese scholar, estimated in his Dream Pool Essays that the number of possible board positions is around 10 172. As a result of its elegant and simple rules, the game has long been an inspiration for mathematical research. The game of Go is one of the most popular games in the world.
