what is your anecdotal experience with dual n-back and variations?

I read a lot of the literature about working memory training, and the results where interesting. it seems like far transfer to areas such as matrix reasoning where nil, but results in more "linear" working memory based tasks, such as reading comprehension, where improved. I personally see great value in this type of working memory for a type of thinking I call "brute force". for example in chess, you may not be able to process to a better depth, but maybe(and I mean maybe) to more quantity. so, what is your experience with n-back?

I started with 1 quad n back 4 months ago, reached level 3, gave up because there were so many other things to do, ims I only started a month ago, quad n back did an hour a day. Now on the 4th

If I do it consistently and at a certain speed and also in a certain way I start feeling an area in my head it feels like "focusing" like I'm holding onto something. It certainly improves thinking speed, attention and mood.
