    Here is a good site that explains all this:

    i already explained that even if you could, you need to look at the players themselves....looking at the others only askews the data. the national iq averages wont account for popularity or things like the russian programs to isolate chess talent in children...

    It is not like it used to be, but the chess culture in Russia is far stronger than anything in the United States. Same with Armenia and Ukraine.

    In countries like this chess players are treated like celebrities, unlike here where chess players are shunned as nerds or introverted.

    No no no! It's this simple..

    If you beat me, then you are most intelligent. If I beat you then I am the most intelligent. Then if you beat me another ten times, you are still the most intelligent. If I beat you again then I am the most intelligent...

    The list I published yesterday about the IQ averages per country, shows an interesting point:  the country with more GMs and more World Champions of all times has an IQ % of 96, the site 28 in that hit parade. Search the individual IQ of each GM is an impossible task for me. On the other hand, I found out that IQ is not as important to chess as study, training and practice to reach the goal of became a great player. Logically, the greatest geniuses of chess has a high IQ. A genius is one in a million, and don`t matter if the name is Kasparov, Carlsen, Fischer, Karpov, Tal, all they are gifted men with minimum differences of IQ percentage between them.
