The comments buffle me... is there any other way to play chess? are you playing pieces at random or according to a picture you had in memory on where a piece was in a similar position that you won sometime?lol

He basically just says to check for the squares your pieces can go and start calculating variations a few moves deep on the most promising ones if you found nothing then choose an other piece and do the same lol

at some point intuition comes into play - which I would argue is the larger part of chess. Learn the basic stuff such as "bishops need open diagonals", "knights like outposts", "try to threaten things", and you're good to go

Maybe there are too many steps involved in making 1 move. I dunno, just my opinion.

I think so, too.  The steps that are similar, as in Dan Heisman's book, quickly eliminate pieces that haven't been moved/uncovered and simplify the checking routines.
