Do you remember a place where I could read about these results? The research I've found so far allowed 3-5 seconds to look at the board, then they looked how much the players remembered. And not even the grand masters remembered the whole board exactly. So that's quite a different result. Here's two pages I've found describing results of studies of Chase and Simon as well as of de Groot (search for "random" inside the pages): http://www.psy.fsu.edu/faculty/ericsson/ericsson.mem.exp.html http://jeays.net/files/psychchess.htm Cheers!
