"I see only one move ahead," Capablanca is said to have answered, "but it is always the correct one."
Great article from Scientific American on studies of the mental processes of chess players. Reminds me of Ford Prefect's advice to Arthur Dent on how to fly: just forget to hit the ground. With chess- just forget the bad moves!
p.s. great bauhaus chess board here.
