Number of possible move for white =20(8 pawns ;taking one step +8 pawns; taking two steps at the start+one knight coming out in 2 ways+another knight coming out in 2 way) and same no of moves are possible for black. For each move of white there are 20 possible moves for black. As there are 20 moves possible for white , the total number of MOVES (according to question) is 20*20=400. (this is a simple sum for those who know 11std probability)
