I was recently reading a book on memory, when I recieved this email about a memory game.  I tried the game(test), it's rather addicting.  It will try to estimate the age of your mind.  I went from a 35 year old down to a 20 year old, after about 10 tries.  It's random, so I guess my memory is improving.  The lowest you can get is 20, I did a "print screen" variation of the test, just to check.  Anyway, I would like to begin remembering certain board positions early on in my games, and this seemed to go along with that.  There are so many types of memory. What helps you remember?

i got a 25 on my first try, I like it a lot. Pretty addictive. Just so people know, you are supposed to click on the numbers in order from smallest to largest. I messed up the first puzzle thinking I had to click the number in the bottom right corner.

First try 22, but thats only because theres an almost identical game on the Nintendo DS's Brain Training!

Yeah I pulled off a 22 on my 2nd and 3rd tries.

Im 39...1st try 37yo 2nd 36yo 3rd 31yo Quitting while ahead!

I doubt playing this number-memory game will help you remember chess board positions. Check out this page for more on memory:

It discusses the different parts of the brain and role they're believed to play in chess. There are also many neat medical studies on the topic. :)

20 on my first try; seems I'm on track.

I'm 14 and got 55 on my first try!
