The problem is that your brain is very complex. you may get into a car wreck and lose the ability to speak and move your eyebrows yet raoidly become better than you ever imagined at chess because your brain had certain neural pathways destroyed and compensated by strengthening the neural pathways for chess.

That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works.
Great commercial.
Suppose you were in an accident and all the muscles of your body became permanently numb.
All that could move were your eyes, and all your memory was erased except for William Hartstons book " How to whoop azz in chess".
Would you play chess then ?
A flying saucer parks in a field and an alien approaches with a book and causes you to speed read "you will be world chess champion in less than three years with our secret alien chess technology".
Assuming that a mad man was chasing you down the street while swinging a pick axe and your hair was on fire plus you had a really bad case of diarrhea...would you still be in the mood for a game of chess?

If you were to fall down a mineshaft, landing on your head with little more than a searing headache and a big lump, would you pull out your smartphone and boot up to chess.com for a friendly game of blitz?
How many morons does it take to change a light bulb???
apparently quite a few..
Three. One to climb the ladder and place the bulb in the socket. Two more to twist the ladder in a clockwise motion.
Ya gotta love it!!
Does it take many more to change a heavy bulb ?
Chess is for fun. Who doesnt play chess because its fun has some serious social problems.
there's little hope for GMs then.
Are you still using the same brain??
After your frontal lobe lobotomy, assuming you played white, would you prefer the Trompowsky attack or the Reti?
