ICC Chess History and Trivia Quiz #5 by Naisortep

"How do top players see things so quickly?
 John Donaldson: It's funny but a player of 1800 or 1900 may actually 
calculate more variations in a game than a strong master who knows what 
to look at and what to reject. An IM or GM knows the basic plans and 
what should happen. At times they don't look more than a move ahead as 
calculation would just be a waste of time.

Larry Evans:  Practically all GMS have the ability to size up a position 
quickly. You can't just develop that. Certain things can be developed 
only up to a point. Judgment is the main difference between a GM and a 
strong master. This included a quick eye and feeling. One well known 
definition on the difference between a GM and a strong master is that 
the master will labor, think, squeeze and finally find the best square 
for the Knight after so many minutes. The GM takes the knight, tosses 
it in the air and it lands on the best square!

Yasser Seirawan:  I only see things quickly if I have seen the position 
before. I can combine similar ideas from past experiences to relate to 
the present situation.

Miguel Quinteros:  GMs can cut through many bad variations at a glance. 
That's experience. That is chess. They have a very good memory of the 
games played and this enables them to find the best move very rapidly."
