I am not voting for using NNs for chess, but is b) a fair agrument?
Isn't it sufficient to see all significant features of positions often enough.
Also a GM doesn't see 10^44 positions before he starts to play as a GM.
Ofcourse the GM does obtain and evaluate some very concrete lines. And I don't
suggest neither a human being nor a computer to play chess without calculating
concrete lines. (As well as I would not suggest to play chess without having
plans and aims and some kind of chess knowledge)
