Older people need less sleep than younger people and children and use less energy for making decisions.

Older people can easier recognize things, because their recognition chains are already storing a lot of objects to which external events can be linked. Children have not got this advantage. They have to go through a selection process to find the most probable object which uses more energy and requires more sleep to relax the used resonator chains. The same happens when people with little experience in a field have to solve problems that are already know to people with more experience in a field.

The best example for enhanced recognition is a chess master.

A chess player looks at a position thinks a lot to find out which move which will be the best.

A chess master looks at the position and knows the best move without thinking. He can also tell you without thinking how the game will look in the endgame. Its just experience, the positions and best moves are are already stored in his mind as resonator chains.

A chess master only has to think when a completely new situation comes up. He he can stop thinking soon when a move combination leads into known territory.

The beginner has not got this advantage, he plays following his 'move horizon', which means he looks for any advantage in the next moves ahead depending how many moves ahead he can handle. Therefore there is no strategy in a beginners game and they have no idea of the concept of initiative.

Strategy and initiatives are concepts forced on you pretty quickly when you play GO an Asian game highly popular in Japan and China. Play a little bit of GO and your chess play will improve dramatically.
