Some of them are not legal positions (kings cant be next to kings), but 100% of those that ARE legal are completely trivial. They're either wins or draws, and few players with any modicum of experience at all would have trouble extracting the maximum value of the position from Magnus Carlsen or anyone else. You'll frequently hear chess players talk about the number of possible positions, as evidence for why chess is the greatest game here is, but this example illustrates on every of a few reasons why bridge - where transposing the 2 and 3 of clubs might affect the result - is a better game.

Hmmm...More possibilities = Better game? I don't know about that. I'm thinking of a number from 1 to 10^50th, what is it?...sounds kind of dull to me.
