Re: Carlsen: 'This victory is a milestone for my career'

Well,things stand a little bit different in chess as it's a brain storm game

Not really.

The amount of memory and study required for chess is enormous.

Talent will only get you so far... even in chess. Hard work and a real dedication to the game is required to be the elite.

I can't think of a single GM or IM that never studies openings or middle/end game positions.

I think that both are needed and ability to memorize is also a talent.
People forget things and a player who is better in memorizing that other people has a special talent.
