Is it really true everyone has the same mental potential?
For the specific case of a chess GM, it could be many people have the potential. Or maybe not.
There are some easy tests to quickly observe and compare mental traits between people.
For example, some people can juggle many distinct numbers in their head at once. Their brain is like a computer memory. Personally I start to fall off around 4 variables when doing mental math and don't believe I can increase that significantly. Do I have (or ever had) the same potential as someone who can juggle 50 variables in their head?
