There are a lot of positions where the move is almost obvious and we can find our way to win.
for instance, Magnus Carlsen won with 1 move , Black to play !
or we can find patterns we have seen before like the smothered checkmate
but sometimes Chess surprises us, because the move played didnt come to our minds.
sometimes the move seems to lose a piece or make no sense, so we dont even consider it and look for "natural" alternatives. Yet there are positions which can keep amazing us even if we played chess for quite some time. or we are new to chess.
