What do you mean by just know to move the pieces?
The 95% of the players are not with equal strength.

I guess that part of them may often miss a capture of the opponent in the next
ply and part of them may do it less often when another part will never or almost
never miss a simple capture in the next ply and only miss often some things that
are slightly more complicated like a fork or winning a piece thanks to a pin or
thanks to a threat that the piece cannot escape.
