It would be very unlikely to find a chess master (or even a relatively
strong player) who has eidetic imagery.

Almost all children have eidetic memory, but the vast majority lose it as
their cognitive skills begin to develop, and this is a good thing.
Eidetic recall is actually a handicap to an adult; it inhibits abstraction,
calculation and creativity.
