Watch "ClutchPoints - "Basketball, I'm good at. But that's not even the best thing I'm ever good at... The greatest domino player in the world... Is myself." Jimmy Butler says basketball isn't his greatest skill 😂 (via @netflix "Starting 5")" on Streamable.
On average, there are about 30 legal moves per position and about 120 total moves per game. That means there are about 180000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 possible game branches in the average game alone. It’s simply too big to calculate.
For comparison, chess with 7 pieces left on the board is solved. The calculations to add 1 more piece increase the solution storage size from 20000 GB to 2000000 GB, would require ~40000 GB of RAM, and would take an estimated 8 months to calculate on the world’s fastest supercomputer. That’s just going from 7 to 8, chess has 32 pieces and solving 1 more piece increases the calculation needed exponentially.

I believe the average game is some like 40 moves. 120 is far too large an estimate
