Question 1: How big can the initial position be?
Answer 1: Infinite rows by 26 columns is the biggest we'll ask you to handle (columns specified by a letter; rows by an arbitrarily large number)
Question 2: What is the smallest board size we need to be able to handle?
Answer 2: You (the programmers) have control about your minimum board. You are writing get-initial-position which allows a modification of the initial position. You should allow the user to choose as small and degenerate a case as they wish. If you've been coding your game correctly, it should require NO change in code to handle these minimum games.
