In other words, is it a visual thing for you, or is it a knowledge based thing? I've heard some people say that it is better to "know" the board very well, and know that (for example) a bishop on c2 attacks h7 and not g7. In other words, you should know instantly what every piece on every square attacks. Do you use knowledge of the board, or do you visualize the board?
