I don't think there are any specific rules for that. One must follow the greatest games played by the masters, what they did in what situation. I can share one of my favorite matches [this video] . Hope you'll learn something about your query. Strong combination between pieces is always a key.

What I'm going to say is too long for a comment so I guess I have to answer. This is funny because I'm the one who marked your question as favorite, just in case someone answers it, I wanted to know the answer, and here I am the one who's answering it! Do you know what were the rules of these competitions ? No but I'll keep searching, maybe I can provide a better answer later on. If you only want to read my answer to your question scroll down, it's the last part. But I guess, that Alexander Alekhine did not look at anything when playing. I will tell you why I think he didn't look, I will tell you how I think he was able to do it. Lets look at other things that our mind can do, and we'll talk

I watched this video - Game of the Century - Bobby Fischer vs Donald Byrne [this video] in which the 13-year-old Bobby Fischer defeated Donald Byrne in an epic match. But I didn't really understand what happened at 12:40. The narrator says "now Bryne can capture the Knight with (1) the queen or (2) the pawn." Then he gives a sort of brief explanation on why Bryne chose to capture with the pawn, but I didn't understand. Here is an image of the position (White to move - Fischer was Black): [LINK] What would be a more in-depth explanation of why recapturing with the queen is a bad idea?
