I wonder. If some team figured out how to say, triple your working memory, like give you a photographic memory or close, would that also increase your IQ? Is there a link between super memory and IQ?
I know people that remembers everything they read, but cannot do any decent conclusions from it.
And I know people that are very intelligent that cannot remember the trigonometric formulae, they invent them from scratch when they need it.

Understanding why releases your capacity of finding good moves.
