Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The article does not provide evidence to suggest that either duffers or masters are better at remembering random chessboard configurations. In fact, the article states that both groups "showed a weak performance in randomly presented chess boards" and that "there were no significant differences in accuracy between the groups." Therefore, it is likely that masters do not remember the random configurations better than duffers.
