Intuitively, I think we all agree that there's no such thing as intuition.
There is no intuition in chess
Sort:
i agree a lot of good players 'see' the best positions because they have practiced
Intuition does not make reference to a magical 6th sense a chess player uses. "Intuition" is a word used to describe a complex mental process in which a great deal of chess knowledge, experience, and pattern recognition is conciously and sub-counciously combined by the player and produces an evaluation of a move or position. The elemnts involved are so numerous and complex and at such a subcouncious level that the player usually is completely unaware of the "truth" behind the process and for this reason and perhaps for simplicity's sake calls the phenomenon and its result- intuition.
zxb, it`s not complicated at all once one knows it, a 1600 player can master it.

It`s not intuition that whispers you: "Oh yes, this is a good move.","This is not a good move"."He should`ve played this, this is losing". It`s assessment that anyone can learn(that I possess). I know many will disagree so I say: show me a position where you think a move was found by player`s(player of any level) intuition, that no assessment can tell if it`s losing or winning but the player knew that is winning for him and I will prove you otherwise.
