The idea is that you identify the candidate moves and calculate the variations resulting from each move only once. In the Soviet school of chess, this is something players have aspired to. But like Charles Slade says, it’s more of an ideal than a practical reality. No one really thinks like that.In 21st century chess, it has become more common to disregard such dogmatic thinking. GM Simen Agdestein once told me that his thought process during chess games was pretty much the polar opposite of what Alexander Kotov describes in his book.According to himself, his thought process is characterized by complete chaos. He also claims that he frequently plays without a plan. He has invented the concept of “grukking” (not to be confused with grokking), which means to make moves and just keep things going, in the hopes that opportunities will turn up.This is a guy who was ranked 16th in the world. He is also the teacher at the Norwegian chess academy, which has fostered grandmasters like Magnus Carlsen, Aryan Tari, Jon Ludvig Hammer and others, so he seems to be doing something right.
