Evidence for the view that chess skill is dependent on recognitional/perceptual processes has been based primarily on findings from recall tasks and from analyses of verbal protocols. The present study employed a timepressure manipulation as a possible source of converging evidence, based on assumed differences in the temporal requirements of recognitional versus calculational modes of processing. The rated quality of moves for very strong (master) and weaker (class B) players was compared in tournament games played under regulation and blitz time rules. The findings supported the predicted interaction between skill level and game type wherein the decrement in move quality for blitz games compared with regulation games was greater for the class B players than for the masters. These results were interpreted as supporting the view that the more highly skilled players are able to rely more extensively on rapid recognitional processes than lessskilled players.
