It's a lot easier to spend your time thinking strategically when you're Nakamura and you see complicated tactics at bullet speed.
As talented as he is a lot of that ability stems from studying loads of tactical positions to recall the themes cold.
It's much simpler than that. If God wants you to win, you win. If God wants you to lose, you lose. Why complicate it?
I think God has more important things to consider than who wins your chess games. Frankly, it's entirely possible that He enjoys letting you determine such trivial aspects of your fate.
Next, you're probably going to try to tell us that God doesn't check every day to see if we brush our teeth, and puts in a bad word with Santa if we don't. Man, you need to get your ego out of the way so you can feel God guiding your hand with every move of every game, making you blunder if you don't pay for a Premium membership. It isn't rocket science.
You mean I get to blame God if I lose? Cool.
It's your own damned fault if you forget to brush your teeth or forget to update your credit card info with chess.com. You can't blame God for that. Take some responsibility. If you want God to make you win, you'll be a better person and listen to what your mother tells you.
a.) You're the one who said God made me lose chess games. I always thought it was my fault.
b.) My mother died when I was 16. I'm 58 now. Guess I'll just have to remain a stinker.

Sounds right to me. Is intuition another word for thinking really really fast, or having good pattern recognition? Studying hard and praticing a lot might be how to help develop a good intuition. Or maybe intuition helps decide what to focus on or think hard about during a game, or ultimately decide which of the possibilities you analyzed in depth is more likely to lead to a win. And in what cases is intuition just exhaustion, laziness, recklessnes or luck, or merely choosing between two or more basically effective options? So many grey areas (besides the grey matter itself).

Where did you get such ideas of God? I would like to check their validity.

Mount Killimanjaro. But may I suggest you book your flight soon, as the travel season is already well under way and it's hard to get affordable accomodations on short notice.

I think intuition is knowing where to direct your focus, what to not bother calculating and what is worth looking at first.
I don't believe any good player relies on it solely though, strategy that doesn't work tactically is useless. You have to calculate.
Why the hell is there a god discussion on this innocent thread
Use your intuition.

God may understand what your reply means but could you clarify what you mean?
Go back and look at my reply again. I edited it. And please don't quote more text than necessary for a given reply, as it makes threads hard to read.
Intuition mostly
a.) You're the one who said God made me lose chess games. I always thought it was my fault.
b.) My mother died when I was 16. I'm 58 now. Guess I'll just have to remain a stinker.
a) Which is funnier, hyperliteralism or having no sense of humor?
b) As a rule, one should not personalize generalizations.
70/30 intuition and calculation
as usual reflectivist speaks utter nonsense, and then resorts to personal attacks when anyone asks for him to make sense of his tripe

I wonder if he would consider this post to be bullying, or just harrassing.
he will see it as one of those or both plus some others

Not nearly enough.
I was wondering what you were referring to, until I realised you were answering the question. Unusual for this thread.

I have given myself the authority to make an obvious joke, and I give you the authority to not derail the thread with a bitchfest about me and your unresolved issues about other threads. It's stalky. Please don't do that (e.g. derail) the OP's thread. It was fun and in good humor up until that.
