"The number of possible moves at the beginning of a Go game starts at around 2.08 x 10170, and decreases from there."

Huh? Aren't there only a few hundred spots at most on the board? A move consists of placing a single rock/stone so how can the beginning move of the game have more choices than the number of spots on the board?
