+1. IQ isn't the end all measure of intelligence and academic success, in particular.
IQ isn't the end all measure of intelligence? it stands for Intelligence Quotient!!!!!!! what?
Haha, it's all in the name, isn't it ;)? Just because it's called the Intelligence Quotient doesn't mean that it actually encapsulates all the intelligence really means to humans. Who said that it could be packaged up and wrapped in a neat little bow? I believe that intelligence is a concept that is not fully understood. I think of IQ as just a number. I used to think differently, when I was younger and wanted to "prove" how smart I was. I'm convinced that true deep thought cannot be measure by IQ.
_yiquan_ wrote:n no, I'm not missing the point about the sicilian dragon comment. you were clearly implying that it's ridiculous for a beginner to try and play that opening. I was merely pointing to the fact that it's really not as theory dependent as the najdorf and it's not all that preposterous for a beginner to endeavor to play a few moves of it. if you had named the sicilian najdorf instead your point would come across much clearer.
Beginners shouldn't play the Sicilian, Dragon, Najdorf, or whatever. Claiming otherwise is misguided I'm afraid. Also, there is plenty of theory in the Dragon, in fact the Yugoslav Attack is so well worked out for both sides that playing the pure Dragon is a big risk today at the top level - it's a little on-the-ropes, theoretically speaking.
It sure is nice to have Kenpo back. It was gettin' boring around here.

Hasn't that table been posted already? There are serious problems with it, such as the fact that it has guesses and some of those results have been disputed. It's also interesting that they credit Einstein with the general theory of relativity, leaving out the special theory, instead of just the simple "Theory of relativity."
A tough genius can chew up a mouthful of aluminum foil.
Since Einstein proverbially couldn't talk till he was 4, not sure how he could've done so well on this thing.
Then again, since I think IQ tests are among the stupidest, most small-minded things ever conceived, I guess I don't really care.
And boy, that Hierarchy of Needs thing was dumb too (though I'll admit I am a big fan of excretion).

Actually I was thinking genius and well-rounded. Hence the Russians put a great deal of emphasis on the full human experience and many of their GMs were very good and clever in other areas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs
take acceptance of facts, lack of prejudice and morality out of that top part.
because if those things are required for "self actualization" then I don't believe there have ever been any such people on earth. if there have, they haven't ever been well known, powerful or wealthy.
Are any of those things really "things"? What a crock.

yeah exactly. sounds like they're describing jesus or buddha there. and we all know those types of guys don't sit at the top of the pyramid.
Actually, I think there's supposed to be a giant eye there looking out.
horse meat...delicious..can I order 2 steaks?
Do you really have horse meat in your country? I know it's not unheard of like it is in the US or UK.
It's not unheard of in the U.S. It used to be fairly common until quite recently when some crazy law was passed outlawing the commercial sale of horsemeat.
Weird. It's okay; below beef, pork, and lamb but way out in front of chicken and turkey. I've never eaten dog, but Lewis and Clark wrote that it is the pinnacle of carnivorous fare.
