Hi, I love your site.

I was wondering if you could tell me where you got the information for fact #14 on your facts page?

You stated that: “The number of possible ways of playing the first four moves per side in a game of Chess is 318,979,564,000.”

Where did you get that information from?

I would like to contact your source if that is possible?

Please help me if you can.

Thanks,
Richard Perkins
