How many possible games in Go (Wei Ch'i)? Chess? (Math)

I forgot to mention the Rule of Ko. A game can have more than one Ko position and thus there’s yet another continuous loop in the counting of possible positions.

Bump :D.

Ko’s ususally are consisted of two configurations, one for white (after capturing black) and one for black (after capturing white).

That would be the very definition of it, UR.

I am not sure what you are getting at. There are more possible games in Shogi than in Chess [a. bigger board b. more pieces c. pieces are not out of the game].

What do you mean by “useful?”
