It only seems like grandmasters are only considering 3 or 4 moves. What you're missing is the fact that they can, at a glance, take in the current state of the game and instantly dismiss several million avenues of consideration based on past analysis and current variations. Sure, but the way in which they arrive at the decision to dismiss those several million is substantially different from how the computer dismisses options, isn't it?
