Well no, it argues that the SKILLS for playing blindfold chess are similar to people who use LLMs to develop code - not that blindfold chess = vibe coding.

And then earlier in the article defines said skills as having a sense of high-level relationships (chunking, positioning, etc) over the board rather than a photographic memory of the board.

But as I said, the whole article feels very fluffy anyway.
