Great lecture on intuition,and how winning a game,
having in effect played badly,can give one a false
sense of good play.

wonderful. this story reminds me of a story told
by the great Botvinnik who recalled that he and
Ragozin after a half an hour of arguing over a
position consulted capablanca who happened to be
in the club. listening to Botvinnik and Ragozin
give their thoughts Capablanca smiled, shook his
head and while giving the winning variation
pinpointed their errors: " after he left we went
into a long and thourough analysis and it turned
out Capablanca was right." I love this story and
i loved yours as well. it is a pleasure to be
able to learn from someone as brilliant as
yourself. thank you

Very nice lecture :)
The human brain is an incredibly fast and
efficient machine. Visual pattern recognition is
something that the brain is extremely quick and
efficient at doing.
I liked your point about the possibility of
developing incorrect intuition if you keep playing
bad opponents who let you win when you have a bad
position. I have never really thought of that.
