No it doesn't. Understanding the logic behind the  moves will.

Is that what you attribute your success to?

Trust me, I speak from experience when I tell you that memorizing moves helps you internalize patterns, which will in turn allow you to move faster, make less mistakes and ultimately achieve a higher rating.

Personal attacks are not necessary. Sometimes it is simply advisable to listen to somebody who knows what they are talking about.

T'was a compliment.  I like how you write your posts with such arrogant authority and have zero desire to listen to somebody else's opinions.  You should consider teaching college.  Theres plenty of malleable young minds willing to spend lots of money to learn only one point of view. 😉

Funny you mentioned that, I am teaching undergrad IP law at Cardozo next year.

I am not trying to be mean, but I felt that his brash statement demanded a rather final response.

Once I play through a game and understand the logic of every move, I have it memorized. Usually, that's short-term memorization that lasts a week or two, but often a single diagram from a critical position will bring back much of it.

BTW, that's precisely what Rashid Ziyatdinov advocates in GM-RAM.

"... how many chess games can you replay (till the end) ..." - VimalKumarK

"I couldn't replay any although I could recognise quite a lot." - CM JamesColeman

"Good point. I could have replayed that one. Also Reti-Tartakower where White sacrifices his Q on d8 and then forces mate with a double check. So maybe 2. Both of those are rather short though." - CM JamesColeman

"Oh yeah, that one. Maybe 3 then happy.png" - CM JamesColeman

"There are many many must-know games for general ideas and themes but not sure of the practical value of having all of them memorised move by move all the way through to resignation?" - CM JamesColeman

"I don't think you have to have them memorized. Just playing them over, even fairly quickly will help put the patterns and ideas into your head." - Morphysrevenges

"Yes, agree with you entirely Morphysrevenges, but the OP was asking about memorised games that you can replay out at will. For me at least, that's not many." - CM JamesColeman

"... Memory is too valuable to be stocked with trifles. Of my fifty-seven years I have applied at least thirty to forgetting most of what I had learned or read, and since I succeeded in this I have acquired a certain ease and cheer which I should never again like to be without. If need be, I can increase my skill in Chess, if need be I can do that of which I have no idea at present. I have stored little in my memory, but I can apply that little, and it is of good use in many and varied emergencies. I keep it in order, but resist every attempt to increase its dead weight. ..." — Emanuel Lasker, Lasker’s Manual of Chess

"... In my experience the majority of books on the openings are concerned more with giving numberless variations than with giving such explanations of the game as would lead the beginner really to understand the why and the wherefore of the moves he sees made; and in this way encourage the development of his Chess sense, thus enabling him to think his own thoughts in Chess, based as they will then be on the wide principles underlying the game. As it is, the reader, after wading through these endless variations, has probably really understood but a very small number of the moves given. He sets out to memorise the variations. And what will be the result? There can be only one. In a couple of weeks most of these variations will have been entirely forgotten; the moves which he does succeed in remembering will have probably got into their wrong order, or otherwise be confused in his mind. As he never really understood them, he remembers only that such-and-such moves are made in a given opening, and the odds are on his making them at the wrong moment, or in the wrong variation. ..."

Does the current level of a player make a difference in the value of remembering something?

"... How useful is it to know that, in the Ruy Lopez sequence, 9.h3 is preferred? That greatly depends on your rating level, assuming you usually play opponents around your rating ..."

IM David Pruess has some insightful comments and instructions on memorizing games.  There a few videos on youtube.  Memorizing a few games can only help with your visualization -- how much, depends upon the individual.  It also can help with learning the critical lines in your openings.
