BBC News - Expert board game players utilise specific brain areas
Scientists have discovered that expert board game players use a part of their brain that amateurs fail to utilise.
The research, published in Science, involved scanning the brains of both professional and amateur Japanese "Shogi" players.
Shogi is a Japanese game, similar to chess.
Scientists from the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan said that intuitive playing was probably not due to nature, but brain training.
