Not just foreseeing of moves, but only doing so correctly, for which practice is needed. Beginners don't think ahead. Club players start to do so...and so on. If you visualize 3 to 4 moves correctly, then you are not a beginner,more likely you are an intermediate player. I am a State Champion and I can visualize up to 8 moves...<br><b>References : </b><br> The skills of a chess player is about 75% foreseeing of moves.

Good players will spot a chance to attack, and then attack in full force until their opponents defense falls apart. Experts might be able to think 8 moves head. If your like bobby fisher, then they can think 25 moves head.<br><b>References : </b><br> I would say 3 to 4 moves at a time.

Sometimes I will play something, not having fully calculated everything, but a feeling that intuitively it is correct. Fischer said there are only so many positions. If you have a dictionary of chess positions [memorized], and when you are playing, suddenly, bingo, there is a something similar on the board, and then play to that, and win. If I said is d4 a light or dark square?, can you quickly tell me what it is? At about 1600 rating onwards, it does require a good visual memory and a memory of positions. But if you play 5 minute or 10 minute chess with clocks, then the basic skills of seeing ahead only a few moves is all that is needed and that is fun chess.<br><b>References : </b><br> Depends, if the line of play, that they are considering has forced moves in it, and no other off branching lines, then quite a way.

It has some value in that it prepares for control of the queen-side and gives white some problems in development. (Nc3 can be responded to with b4 at a later time, and it tends to limit the light-squared bishop. But for the most part, it's played for surprise effect and is not really that solid.

I usually try to look for about five lines and go about 3 to 7 moves in them. grandmaster think about 20 moves but I don't think that is correct seeing how they do a lot of memorizing of the attacks so it more like if I showed you a deck of cards, then you could tell me that there are 52 cards and the suites. every one else beside grand master try memorize but more or less just guess. since you never know what really your opponent will do.<br><b>References : </b><br> well it is not how many moves you can see. it is more the lines your see.
