I, am not sure whether to look upon Chess in a Formal way; or, whether just to adhere with best instinct, and blitz everything

There have been some very good good instinctive players, Tal stands out but there have been many others, instinct often produces the best move, but how much is that instinct dependant or a product of good formal training/practice.
Many of the players we regard as being instinctive have from a very early age been taught the principes on which chess is built, good awareness of space etc the difference between a good move and a bad move is often a very fine line, a sacrifice that works one day is refuted another, a weaker move can look brilliant against one opponent or weak against another.
Blitzing everything & playing on instinct will produce you some wins and some losses, & the losses will probably come because your opponent is playing to a plan & using the formal rules that he/she has been taught.

It's generally agreed that slower time controls produce objectively better chess. 1 hour games are better than blitz games; full length tournament games are better than 1 hour games; correspondence games are better than OTB games. The slower the time control, the less important chess instincts are and the more important careful analysis becomes. So, even if your chess instincts are very very good, in the same class as an Anand or Tal, slower time controls will reduce or eliminate your advantage.
Put another way, instinct wins in situations, like blitz, that demand instant responses. Analysis wins in situations that allow time for analysis. The best players can do both.

Good post Katherine you are absolutely right, it is a point i have made in other debates re human or computer, if you are prepared to take the time do your research and analysis in correspondence chess you can play like a grandmaster, OTB it is a whole new ball game!!
