# Outputs: 0   (no chance nodes in Chess)

game = pyspiel.load_game("markov_soccer")
print(game.max_chance_outcomes())
# Outputs: 4   (ball starting location, and who gets initiative)

game = pyspiel.load_game("leduc_poker")
print(game.max_chance_outcomes())
# Outputs: 6   (three cards in two suits)
```
