Memory training
It is known that professional chess players have different visual memory from most people on the planet. That special skill can be gained by many years of chess training and will remail with a player for a lifetime. For example, Magnus Carlsen, in an interview on 60 Minutes, said that he has memorized 10,000 chess games. When he was 2 year old, he was able to recite all the major car brands of Norway. At age 5, he memorized all the world’s countries, their flags, and their capitals.
