OK good point. Still, I don't think that's the generic case. And even with chess, you get to recognise configurations if you love analysing games.
It’s a very interesting question how generic it is; I suspect we don’t yet have good evidence. The analysis point seems spot on, and consistent with memory research: the more deeply you think about something, the more firmly encoded it will become in memory.
