So, recently I have doing quite alot of reading about memory and learning, and I must say that so far I am baffled at the realities of the world inside our skulls and outside. Research has shown that the difference between a chess grand master and a novice player is in their ability to recall the board setup. If a board is shown to a grand master and a novice, chances are the grand master would be able to recreate 90% to 100% of the board, but the recall rate drops to around 40-60% for a novice on average. So, this might make you believe that the grand masters are super human, but the reality is that they are every bit human, just trained ones.
