Magnus Carlson is the best chess player in the world ... I probably know more about Norwegian history, literature and classical music than he does
yeah, yeah. very opinionative. Magnus Carlsen isn't the best player. just because he's world champion doesn't mean he is the greatest overall.
then who was?
If Einstein played chess seriously, China 🇨🇳would rule the world right now. 🀄️🉐🈹㊙️🈲㊗️🈵
I KNEW SOMEONE WHO PLAYED CHESS WITH EINSTEIN. A German SCIENCE PRO WHO KNEW
HIM FROM THE OLD DAYS. HE WAS NOT A GOOD PLAYER. BUT HE BELIEVES IF HE PUT ALL
HIS MIND TO IT HE WOULD BE GREAT.
Quite a few physicists play/played chess, but very few did it competitively. There really is a world of difference between playing a game and competing in it.
Chess demands everything you have got I you wish to really master it. That takes time away from doing other things.
lol
I have noticed that Chess requires a certain strength of personality. 130 should be plenty of IQ, imo to be an excellent player, given the right psychological traits.

If a person with an average IQ enters a chess monastery for ten years sorrounded by greatest books ever written, taught and challenged by some of the greatest chess players of the past, puts his mind, body and soul to learning the game. Would he be able to challenge and win against the super GMs of today? I think so.

Wait why
Why those houses and a fountain in the title?
I think so...
OH COME ON!?
I'm calling bullshit. Optimissed you are well known around here as being full of shit and full of yourself. Post credible citations for the crap you post or STFU.
...I did quite extensive research before 911. After 911, the American-Israeli pact decided to deify Einstein so it is no longer possible to get the real facts online, because his image is protected by agents acting on behalf of his estate, ...
It's definitely in my brain because ...
Can we safely assume that you do not want to be specific about non-online sources uncovered by your research?
Doubtful, and no...there is no evidence of any kind that being good at chess "leads" to having a high IQ.
IQ is an antiquated measure in any case, but the claims of 160+ IQs on this site are laughable regardless. We're talking about a 99.9968313965% percentile, here. A 160+ IQ married to 156 IQ? Somebody has a Mensa chapter that wants to make more money on membership dues, or maybe they are just lonely...
Someone here was saying that they only have a 130 IQ. 130 IQ is near genius level, and close to the 98th percentile. Yet if you post a thread here, 130 seems low, and you will find that about half of the people think they are 1 in 100, and a good chunk think they are 1 in 30000...what a load of BS.
My most "official" IQ test was 138...which seems inflated. My SAT scores are 99th percentile, which would be closer to 135. I have, however taken online IQ tests that score me at 150+...they are complete hogwash. Inflating IQ results leads to more website visitors, more paying membership dues, more magazines sold, etc. It's that simple. Everyone likes to think they are a hero/genius.
When the BBC did their documentary on intelligence, which Susan Polgar participating, they scoured the countryside for the smartest people they could find. They had 1 single guy with a verified 160 IQ. He lost, by the way, in the overall results. Susan Polgar was near the bottom, as well, for those of you on your "chess = high intelligence" kick.
