Infinite number of chess games:
White pawn to D3
Black pawn to D6
White queen to D2
Black queen to D7
White queen to D1
Black queen to D8
Repeat steps 3 to 6 ad infinitum
???
Win
Edit: there’s also infinite atoms (permutations) by way of the constant flux of nuclear fusion and fission
Lol, luckily there are a couple of rules to prevent infinite games in chess:
One is "draw by repetition", where if the same exact board state is reached 3x, the game ends automatically in a draw.
The other is the "50 move rule", where if no pieces are captured or pawns advanced in 50 turns, the game also ends in a draw.
The universe is also probably infinite, maybe. It's at least bigger than the observable universe
