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?
