This faggot (who looks like he has down syndrome btw) said in an interview that most of the time he doesn't know why he knows if a move is good or not.
Is that all there's to chess? Learning the guiding principles and playing a shit ton of games until you develop some sort of natural intuition?
It doesn't seem feasible to me studying openings, mid games and endgames since there are literally more possible chess games than there are atoms in our bodies.
Does IQ come into play as well? Are there dumb top tier players?
