I'm in the 6'1.5"-6'2" range (186.69 CM-187.96 CM), to maybe even a hair above 6'2". I'm mainly asking this to see if there's any possible correlation with height and Chess playing skills.

I have no idea what you're talking about? This 'lunatic' is apparently more coherent than you are.

We've had tall world champions, we've had short world champions, and we've had quite a few world champions of average height. Seems like a fair sample, I don't imagine that you'll acquire a more legitimate one here.

You're still being incoherent. How about you actually spend a few minutes to try to be clear here?

Do you have a long neck, a long spine or are you a kind of daddy long legs ?

Height & chess score correlation?  Doubtful.  Still...give it a chance kaynight.  Just admit you are a 4ft nothing & any theory is shot.  If it helps, I'm seven feet tall & can't see colours. Undecided

6'2.  I believe being taller makes you better at chess as you get a better view of the board.

My chess playing skills seem to fluctuate a lot, so there's no way that I'll ever be one.

Ridiculous.  95% of scientists agree that being taller makes you better at chess.

Ridiculous. 96% of statisticians agree that SilentKnighte5 makes it up as he goes along.
