Philosophy Wire: Intuition better than Logic?

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-01-20]: Research published in Science shows that the best chess players make their decisions based on intuition rather than conscious thought [source: http://news.in.gr/science-technology/article/?aid=1231075468]. If this is true, then could it be that “logic” we are so accustomed to is wrong? What does out logic teach us? What does our intuition teach us? How do we know which is more “valid”? Science says the first? You?

PS. See "Religion and Science Unification" for more on the subject...
