    The conclusion of this chess memory study is related to one of Gestalt Principles on Perception which is specifically on "proximity". Humans tend to view or perceive something as a cluster or a group rather than individual details.

    He's not super eloquent, but I get the point he's trying to make at the end. Also, he proves the point even more strongly by being able to swap back and forth between two different boards, both of which he still remembers.

    Hate to say I noticed most of the changes, except maybe the "SUSHI" text being replaced by "MENU" on that card, which is pretty inconsequential. But I wasn't gonna call it out, just thinking to myself: "wow, this is some awful editing and camerawork, those weirdly out of place photo-wallpapers are encroaching on the shot aggressively and they need to turn that 'nature sounds' ASMR back down in this restaurant" until suddenly the table vanished out of existence. 😄

    Not bragging or anything but I remember positions of all 32 pieces of every chess game, before the 1st move is made. Ok, sometimes I could mess up the bishop and knight positions and where the King and Queen go relative to each other, but still pretty impressive huh?

    It seems that regularly as a principle he looks at the king safety first when he evaluates the position. That's why I think he remembers it. At the previous example which was almost an endgame, the king was safer thus he looked first on the plan.

    Sometimes in a movie they will show a chess game underway (just a prop, not part of the movie) and often I will notice that the arrangement of the pieces is not at all like they might be in a "real" game. Its like someone (maybe someone who does not play chess) just set some pieces on the board. I think I see that because I know how to play chess (at an low to average ability) and not because I have a good memory.

    Intuition can be more important with chess in scenarios, where a sequence of moves have to be executed in some order, to achieve some result. A true chess master, would able to play the board not only through rigid analytic moves, but based on their 'gut', statistical likelihoods of what moves their opponents will make. In contrast to what Chabris and Simons have to say, it is obvious, that giants like Magnus Carlson, aren't thinking through each move step by step, but instead very heuristically/intuitively considering multiple outcomes, before making an analytic judgements. “It’s hard to explain. Sometimes a move just feels right.” - magnus carlsen Just to note intuition can mean at least a few different things...subconscious calculations, sense of statistical regularities in occurrence (temporal), sense of statistical regularities between structures (spatial), or just an unexplained feeling that something is the case.

    In the first position, the Queen was in the same diagonal as the King. That was important. It is nevertheless very impressive what he can remember. One of the Chessmaster programs had a feature at the beginning, it was a puzzle but with the same spirit, very random position of the pieces, it was really confusing. Of course, it was on purpose. BTW, I know Patrick Wolf from a documentary, Kasparov vs US junior champions. Wolf was the only one who beat K!

    I don't think it is about memory, per se, more about perception. So, imagine you are looking at some data, perhaps some stats, or maybe just observing the world go by. Maybe you think you understand what is happening. You do not. You recognise certain patterns or things you expect to see, and anything you do not expect to see, no matter how big or important, it is hard to recognise it, you miss it, or overlook it.

    try that and you will get beat, because one thing your completely forgetting about that aspect of chess, yes the openings are memorize but to be a grandmaster means you have to be superb in opening,middle game, endgame and TACTICS TACTICS TACTICS, try acting random with a grandmaster and they will kill you with TACTICS TACTICS TACTICS... so the best thing for you to do is memorize the openings get the feel for them and understand the variations and play with them against ppl and grow intuition

    Chess masters can exhibit remarkable memory for location of chess pieces on a board. After just a single five-second exposure to a board from an actual game, international masters in one study remembered the locations of nearly all twenty-five pieces, whereas beginners could remember the locations of only about four pieces.

    There's a big difference between application of meaningful information than just working off of running memory of organizing nonsensical information. The brain works much better with stimulus with significance than random. It helps for achieving more efficient nueroplasticity. This video illustrates this well.

    Thats not the point... the point is that his memory of 250,000 odd game positions (the average for a GM) will recall patterns of a typical game, he doesn't have to remember all the pieces but he recognizes the pattern and triangulates (sort of).
