Well… yes, the “improve speed of thought” component is like limitless/BL/QL…
But Chess is a purely visualized game. Not sure if Bliss has a lot of chess experience, saying “millions of moves” makes me assume he’s not… but I can speak to the actual chess component itself… Chess calculation beyond 3-4 moves, unless there’s an obvious winning of a piece (or checkmate)… requires more than just speed of thought.
You have to have the depth of understanding of principles, the true genius and/or pattern recognition, to truly calculate ALL the best moves that your opponent has. Second, you need to calculate ALL your responses. God… these two things are so difficult, largely because they require such a large amount of working memory to hold that many lines and responses in your head simultaneously. Lastly, once you have reached the end of the “lines” you’ve selected, you need to evaluate the quality of the resulting positions, and decide which one has the best winning chances for you. The problem making this calculation more difficult is that at the highest level, most of these positions don’t result in crushing wins. Unless your opponent made a mistake, the best you can hope for is equality.
“Speed of thought” is nothing more than expertise. But… speed in what domain? You won’t have the same speed of thought in all domains. I can calculate chess moves faster than 95+% of people here, but that’s because I have pattern recognition, and practice, not because I’m cognitively faster than anyone in particular. I can listen to the first 60 seconds of a sales call and tell you whether or not the sale closed 45 minutes later. But ask me to quickly design a way to clean and organize a room, and I’ll be slow, because I’m both not naturally inclined to that, and not well practiced.
So, there’s some validity in what @blissadventurer is saying, if what he’s requesting is improved and accelerated thought in the visual domain, from a cognitive enhancement perspective, including increased working memory in regards to visual things that require incredibly accurate re-creations.
Which I assume is already in Mind’s Eye as that’s what it’s all about, but, if Mind’s Eye is mainly about "creative visualization’ as @SaintSovereign mentioned, then I would also like to see increased speed/depth of visual thought from a logical perspective too.
