I think humans represent chess by a huge number of *visual* patterns.

We've been over this one several times in the past (perhaps you haven't been here). Blind people can "see" - they can draw the shapes of objects. . They create their visual shapes out of touch.Touch comes prior to vision in evolution

All living creatures are "common sense" intelligences. IOW the senses are integrated and information is shared between them. It is only at an intellectual level that we can think we can function with only one sense in isolation. It's actually impossible in practice. {See Michael Tye]. - (And there is much, much food for thought in that reality).

So yes, Matthias, is correct. How other than visually (and common-sensically) do you think people play chess?

P.S. Matthias seems to be cheerfully cutting his own throat here. The idea of a single domain AGI or pre-AGI is a contradiction in terms every which way - not just in terms of domains/subjects or fields, but also sensory domains.
