Mind blowing Chess Question!

How many ways are there to play the first 10 moves in chess?

Anonymous A.

To provide a precise number, we would need to consider all possible legal moves at each step and account for the branching possibilities. However, it's important to note that after both players have made their first move (1.e4 and 1.e5, for example), there are already 20 possible legal moves for the second move (e.g., 2.Nf3, 2.d4, 2.Nc3, 2.Bc4, etc.), and this number continues to increase with each move.
