I realise (and realised when I wrote what I did) that that was your meaning. But I suspect that actually most GMs have a pretty good (read: *scarily* good, for most of us) memory, good enough that being allowed to move the pieces about wouldn't make a huge difference. I don't think you get to be a GM without being pretty good at tactics. And I don't think you get to be pretty good at tactics without being able to see future situations clearly. But then, I'm a patzer. What do I know? -- g
