Question: were the experts analyzing problems which were difficult at their
level, or the same problems analyzed by non-experts? I suspect that expert
players are able to obtain better results for the same problem with less effort
than average players. To borrow from some now-ancient research done in
cognitive psychology at CMU by Simon, it is probable that one develops
cognitive "chunks" which permit higher-order processing at greater speeds.
It would be interesting to see what percentage of the brain is used under
tournament conditions by expert players, especially when they need to dig deep
into their resources.

At the 3rd International Conference on Baduk there was a paper
presented on fMRI images of the brains of expert and non-expert
players analyzing Go problems. The conclusion of the research
is that experts use far less of their brains than non-experts. The
volume of the brain used by experts is quite small.
