Hi everybody!
Perft(n) is the number of possible games in chess, checkers, reversi... up to n plies (for example: e4, e5; Nf3, Nc6; Bb5 are 5 plies). Perft(12) is the highest perft value calculated to date, but a
guy in TalkChess Forum is calculating Perft(13) and he expects to finishing the calculations around the end of this year.

Some people are doing their estimations and I also did my own! Here is the document I have just upoladed to Megaupload server:

I hope my estimation will be true. In fact, all estimations I have seen are near mine, but with minor changes. Keep in mind that Perft(13) should be around 2·10^(18), so this is why the exact
calculation of this number will took more than half a year (maybe).
If you LiChess players want to do a poll, this is the thread! How much can we approach to the true value?
