Has chess improved your memory?
Sort:
Wondering if anyone has had noticeable differences in their recall since playing more frequently. How would chess improve memory?
That’s sort of Ironic, Santoy

Not for me. I've improved because of technique, positional understanding and concentrating on the overall basics, more than being able to see further ahead. I cannot play blindfold chess, i don't have the memory for that.

I don’t think it’s a memory exercise but a critical thinking exercise. It’s like do math problems to keep your mind alert. I always thought was a way to keep mind alert. Never for memory, even when I learning new opening or tactics.

It did tremendously. I can really remember so much more. I can recall most conversations I had this week, I remember my piano music much more, and I have an easier time memorizing at school
Chess related memory and other memory are 2 different things.
It hasn’t helped me, I keep forgetting who I am ! 🙀
Is it like a correlation-causation fallacy?
I see one unique way it an help memory. That is to keep in mind the lines and evaluate different lines to see which lines are better. It's helpful for short term memory though. Besides, chess is a visual game with visual pieces. It helps me remember what moves my opponent and I make.

I had a 40 year total gap from chess. The interesting thing is, I can remember opening theory from the early era (admittedly revised) better than I can remember (now retired) new opening theory that I have looked at in recent years.
As with language, music etc., I can see why most very strong players were competent (1600+) at a very early age.
Chess has improved my memory and concentration as well as my analytical abilities.
Chess can indeed enhance memory! 🧠✨
When I started playing chess regularly, I noticed a remarkable improvement in my ability to remember details. According to a fascinating study by the University of Pittsburgh, chess players exhibit enhanced working memory and cognitive skills compared to non-players. The study found that engaging in chess can increase memory capacity by up to 20% due to the game's requirement for pattern recognition and strategic thinking.
I find that playing chess has made it easier for me to recall complex information and improve my focus. For example, I can now remember details from meetings and conversations with greater ease. 🗣️

Agree.Also I can forget other things thinking about Chess / Playing Chess.Perhaps is a selective alert state.
