Have there been studies of the calibration of expert players in
judgments of chess situations -- e.g., probability that white will win?
In terms of the amount and quality experience and feedback, chess
players are at least as privileged as weather forecasters and
racetrack bettors -- but they don't have the experience of expressing
their judgments in probabilities. I am guessing that the distinction
between a game that is "certainly lost" and "probably lost" is one
that very good players can make reliably, but I know of no evidence.
