Yes, in my PhD thesis I re-discovered and extended this; was first published by Adriaan de Groot (leading 20th c. Dutch psychologist and chess master), Herbert Simon, and William Chase; also Fernand Gobet (strong chess playing cognitive psychologist) has done key studies on this

Funny coincidence: while reading this, I bumped into some of my old notes from @spyrosmakrid & co.’s Dance With Chance, where they too touched upon the subject: https://t.co/zSFsJZ1gXe pic.twitter.com/h37j6J69yR

The claim about IQ isn’t true though. See recent meta-analyses by Zach Hambrick et al.

Read the study mentioned: Deliberate practice: Is that all it takes to become an expert?
This study looked at the findings of studies done by Anders Ericsson et al which proposed that expert performance reflects a long period of deliberate practice rather than innate ability, or “talent”.
So study showing the memory of chess players being local to the game is true? But scoring high in an arbitrary IQ test is universal. Like to know why it is so @cfchabris ? @sbkaufman
