Now, chess is an interesting arena to study because chess has an objective statistical rating system that called an illusory correlation. They think about the times when two things happened together and they don't think about all of the times that they weren't thinking about their friend,
And the research has lots of examples of how this works, right? Now here's the problem with illusory superiority. If K. Anders Ericsson is right, it does protect our ego, right?
