Look up the storage density of Syzigy tablebase average bits per position. Enlarge it due to earlier positions needing more information. Look up estimates of total distinct positions in chess (or calculate it - this is not hard). Modern tablebase use very good compression.Biflittle said:perfect play I once calculated
How did you manage to do that?
[edit: best modern estimate for number of possible legal chess positions I could find is about 1046. I got more like 1048 atoms in the moon, so the estimate still looks about right.]
