think deeply in chess
Sort:
Each person can only think deep to a certain level. That level is limited by what they know, and how many moves ahead they can calculate.
"What you know" is related to chunking. First you learned the letters of the alphabet. Then you learned simple words, then bigger words, then sentences, and eventually you could write and read higher level ideas. Each of those stages, you are thinking in terms of bigger "chunks".
The same is true in chess. First you learn how the pieces move, then you can capture hanging pieces, then some tactics, then you learn some strategy, and some openings, endings, pawn structures, and so on. You study master games and see how masters use these ideas to win games.
If a person only knows how the pieces move, and they can think 3 moves ahead, that person's chess experiences will be pretty limited (capturing hanging pieces, simple tactics). Compare that with someone who has been playing and studying for 10 years and knows many ideas, and they can see 6 moves ahead. That person can think much more deeply about chess.
Most of us are limited in how many moves ahead we can think. You can improve this, but it's still limited to some degree. You are better off focusing on adding chess knowledge. Not only knowing the basic ideas, but knowing how to carry them out yourself in real games. It's not enough to know that doubled pawns are bad. You have to know how to punish your opponent when they have doubled pawns. That only comes from experience, and seeing examples where masters carried out the plan.
So to answer your question: No, there are no shortcuts other than hard work. Hard work, every day, is the only super power I'm aware of. Even in small doses, if done consistently, it's like magic.
