When grandmasters look for their next moves, they dismiss many possibilities in
the average chess position.
They may look deeply at five moves, or at as few as two, or without conscious
thought, they may just know the right move with intuition programmed by years of
playing other humans.
Grandmasters may dismiss ugly and weird moves a computer might play, moves that
might win the game but would make no sense in the context of human decision
making. Intuition is fuzzy...
