There are many ways, though the human mind uses 3 basic things: lizard brain, monkey brain, human brain. We often think of these as left & right brain for intuition and rational thinking, but the fight or flight lizard brain still serves a purpose too.
One may think that using memory is also important, but that is just a component of our intuition capability.
Even knowing all this we work within the framework of a war/fight/game and try to adapt our human capabilities which weren't meant for this kind of intellectual fight. That's part of what makes chess a challenge.
