I don't think chess is the best example for 'minigames'. You play a lot of mini games when learning, but the pros are very focussed on the larger strategy. The mini games are executed below their main attention. I think their 'blind spots', what GMs call 'blunders', are at a level that does not map with our normal reality.
It's like using fighter pilots as an example of how to be attentive. I don't think the most relevant examples ever come from 0.0001% of the population.
I guess I can expect the next Ted talk will be 'How to be like Magnus'. (Maybe Hikaru can be the speaker for more comedic value).
This said, I agree, and fitting with the theme, you need to move your head around focus wider to see the things that are hidden right in front of you.
