Memory and Chess

It's been awhile since I last had the time to browse my chess email which on the average, receives 80 emails daily from my chess subscriptions. These "spams" are good and bad depending on the time available for me to browse them.

Some of the messages I look forward to are the ones from Chessville and FIDE Newsletters.

Anyone here believes in the strong connection between chess and memory? The better able you are holding on to information in chess, the higher your chess rating climbs up.

It's true and but it's not a complete truth. Just like any human endeavor, there is the unwritten law about skill acquisition. One has to study and practice playing chess like it's your second nature.

A good memory is not enough if not seasoned by the years of tournament plays and daily disciplined correct chess study.
