Thanks for the reply. I had a feeling someone would say that most of what I experience is pretty normal but I do think I have a worse memory than most of the population by far. All of my family and friends notice it.
I do have spatial problems which do probably contribute to my problems with directions... My friends always drive when we go somewhere because they know I might not be able to get back home... As I also mentioned before I don't seem to have much mental endurance and I really get bad then. Last week when I was at staying at hotel after a long days work. I forgot my hotel key at the front desk, than I forgot my luggage, than I realized I locked my keys in the car! :( I'm only 25, what will I be like when I turn 50?! I just got a new job where I have to think a lot and I'm starting to think it's to much for my little brain to take. lol.
As for the Chess thing, I've played little kids before and even they almost always know what moves they've made! lol. When I go over games with my chess friends they always can put a positon that I was in on the board after a game and show me what they thought of it, I could never do that. I beat a 2500(a very, very, high rated player,) in a speed chess tournament a couple weeks ago. My friends wanted me to show them how I did it and they were flabergasted that I couldn't remember it. We asked him to show it to us so we could right it down but he was too pissed off to show us.
I have read about Ginkoba but that's mostly only supposed to help older people who have lost some of the memory abilities they used to have, the problem is I never had it! Oh well...Thanks for your help!
