>the average chess grandmaster during a classical game will analyze roughly the same number of moves as an amateur player, but they analyze only the most critical moves
What does this mean exactly? They analyze the same number but the grandmaster analyzes "only the most critical moves."
So does that mean at every given analysis opportunity (each move I guess), they analyze better candidates?
If so I guess these 2 things are totally redundant? "they analyze only the most critical moves and do a better job with that analysis."
Alternatively I wondered if perhaps they actually perform analysis on less moves (perhaps because they already know the lines or remember their previous analysis). But I think that contradicts the claim that they analyze about the same number of moves.
