Chess Experiments

Pertti Saariluoma conducted a series of experiments which suggest that grandmasters are much quicker than novices in certain low-level perceptual processes. In the first of these experiments, a king of one color was placed on the chessboard, along with a piece of the other color. The subject had to state whether the king was in check or not. The average latencies were as follows: novices: 1550 ms, class players: 1250 ms, experts: 900 ms, grandmasters: 650 ms. The results indicated that skill is inversely proportional to the reaction time ^{[2] [3]} .
