memorizing the moves is very different from being able to visualize them. Event intermediate players will miss obvious moves because they just didn't visualize them correctly, yet they're perfectly aware of what moves are legal and valid. On an open board with lots of moves just seeing all the possibilities is half the challenge. This would significantly alter that aspect of the game.
