who's that the waterboy?

I think it doesn't exist, unfortunately.
I think it does, within the seeing of the game. I don't know where to look, I don't know why I'm looking here or there... I'm always looking at small tactics, 'I can take this piece' 'I can win a pawn after doing this and this if he does that and that' - I know this is naturally building, but it is too slow. Its so annoying I can analyse 18 plo tables pretty well, but seeing the game of chess I am so slow at thinking.
I want to know whats going on in a GMs head. Is it a voice? Is it purely visualise? What is the catalytic thought process? How do I see the point, one before the conclusion, in a game where there are so many possibilities?
Is it, 'move there, move there, move there, move there, wrong'
Or do you see it as a whole web or a tree? It is so difficult to focus on the whole board, on every piece, and then you have to think 3 moves ahead, you have to think where that piece is 10 moves in the future, there's so many villain responses. Do I look at his responses? Do I look at my formation? Do I just play solid and wait to see an opening?
In these tactics puzzles, to get to that point where it is in view and the possibility becomes apparent, there was one huge tactic leading to that.
This game does my head in, I've just lost my last 4 games, because I can only focus on a very limited % of the board.
Is chess nothing but a game of trial and error and memory?
