Positional Judgment
If you want to assess whether you will win this game or not, you make a Positional judgment. Basically, this consists of measuring territory and thickness/influence. Measuring territory is easier in the sense that it is quantifyible, but it requires the mental pains of counting. Measuring thickness is harder in the sense that it is not quantifyible, but one can develop some kind of intuition for it, which enables one to assess thickness faster than territory. There is a wonderful book, written by Cho Chikun, on how to make a positional judgment, though it explains the territorial assessment in much more detail than the influence part.
