No, it’s just muscle memory.

@@ripinkhanna6075 He is also a genius, there is no point denying it. If an average Joe trained that much, he would get really good, but still nowhere near his level.
An article in either The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal (I forget which) stated that one of the things Magnus does is be less reliant on computer analysis and add a "human element." When he plays an outlandish move, his opponent who may have been more reliant on computer training would get confused and kinda freeze up, giving Magnus an advantage.
Yeah that's his thing. He tries to take his opponents out of theory and play novelties and he's the best at that. Np matter how much prep you do you can't prepare for a novelty because it's a novelty.
He just sees so much more. Most people see the chess board as a board with 64 squares with pieces who attack each other both lead by a king. But Magnus is on a whole other dimension , he just sees from an other perspective that no one else really can.
Nobody does this with other professionals. " My plumber is just on a different level; most people think plumbing is just a bunch of tubes that carry water through your house, but it's like he sees it from another dimension" or he is just really good at fixing and rearranging tubes that carry water through your house, like how magnus is really good at moving peices over a 64/64 board to attack the other person's peices.

Memory is one part of it - but only one part. When he's playimg eell, he can calculate deeper, faster and more accurately than any other human. I think he's probably on the spectrum, which helps him focus like nobody else.
