intuition has a greater role in blitz chess, but calculation has its greatest role in the endgame and in combinations
Do you calculate a lot?

quit trolling/derailing this thread.
read #45 spot on the thread...your #46 was way off
intuition is much more satisfying than calculation...it demonstrates a natural talent

What do you mean "not talking of forced captures and stuff"?
Are you talking about not calculating forcing moves like checks and captures? Are you talking about calculating non forcing moves (why?)? Or are you talking about not calculating "forced" replies to your opponent's forcing moves, like when you're in check and only have one reply?
Calculating well is an important skill to master. You need to know how to calculate your way through a complicated tactical position. Even when you play positional chess, the point is to build up a superior position so that you have a chance for a winning combination. So you may not have to calculate every move until you get to the point of a combination. Then you do. Otherwise all of your positional play could result in your opponent taking the win.
reflectivist,
if you read kotov's book 'think like a grandmaster' then the first example is typical example of a case which requires extensive calculation. i am not talking of those kinds of examples since they make up approximately 5-10% of chess. i am talking of the other situations.

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?
Indeed, why complicate it?

Where did you get such ideas of God? I would like to check their validity.
but how...?
Or maybe reflectivist was just trolling again....
Or maybe you are.

1) And how is that working out for you?
2) You mean as you get much better, intuition or pattern recognition can take over, not requiring you to calculate much?
Uh-oh, lookout: the Peewee Herman defense. That's twice now in this thread:

By the way, at least I own it, and steer clear of the "spamming" side of the line.
I'm not one to pass up the opportunity to make a good joke (or a bad one for that matter).

People don't (successfully) calculate their way out of a quiet position if that's what you're asking.
Usually it's something in between... it's a mostly quiet position but tactics exist that limit you and your opponent's options. I do something like render an evaluation of the position based on past experiences with similar positions, the something akin to imagining an ideal arrangement, then calculate if I can actually reach that arrangement and if the final position is actually good or not.

Exactly. That's the transitional phase between expert and master as the expert learns more positions and contributes to his memory and pattern recognition, and so is less dependent on calculation.
The devil made me do it.
I think I rarely move by intuition. I'm a computer in my case!

It's not often you'd find a computer outside of its case!
whenever anyone makes claims about God then when challenged the onus is on them to give their authority behind what they claim
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.
