Just wondered what other folk are putting for the following question........
At the start of a game of chess, each player has the choice of how many opening moves?
I've googled it, and looked at several sites, who all supply a different, rather vague, answer. The general view seems to be that there are "dozens" or even "hundreds" of possible opening moves. I was wondering what other people have decided to put.

White has 8 pawns that can move forward one or two squares (16 possibilities). The only piece that can move is the Knight and each has two legal moves (another 4 possiblilites). Total = 20 moves.
