Your exactly correct! It's much easier to find a combination to a problem when
you are told there is a winning move in a particular position, but the real test
is if you will see the combination in a real game of chess! Look at how many
times Grandmasters miss a better move than what they made or even a winning move
that they missed. In an over the board game you can't be always searching for
deep complex combinations on each and every move or you will certainly lose on
time, and so with experience you get a certain feel that there is possibly a
combination when the pieces are positioned in a particular pattern and then you
spend some extra time on this position.
