If you're really interested in the topic of memory, go read Eric Kandel's In Search of Memory. It may not be as longwinded as some posts here (about 350 pages), but it is written by a guy who won a Nobel prize for his work on long-term and short-term memory.
Relationship between Chess rating and I.Q?

I appreciate the offer, perhaps you didn't realize how facetious I was being, nor how well I already understand those ideas... ?
i'd probably forget to read it anyway.
In school I pointed out to the teacher that I didn't have poor reading comprehension. I just couldn't remember what I read if I didn't give a $#!T about it...it makes your test, quizes, etc harder to do well at...She told me she could get fired for letting the class prove their learning with comic books...
I did an online IQ test and scored 80 and my rating on this site is 7-800 so it would appear this formula is a nice little rule of thumb to use.

That is a scarey thought, you thinking of me while you read children's stories...no I don't want to be your neighbor...and my kids can't come out and play...

Are you all thumbs?
Why Einstein, Bohr, Hawking, Fermi, Edison, Von Braun or any Nobel Prize we know, weren't among the top 50 of chess ever, or at least be known as a strong amateur chess player?

Because they didnt play chess?
If they did, they would be among the top 50, but then they wouldnt be in your list of nobel-prize winners.

Some of them were great scientist... and writers, musicians, painters at the same time. Why not chess players?
chess attracts IQ's all the way from genius to idiot...I am nearer idiot than genius!
The line between idiocy and genius is thin...
I am wayyyy too smart to admit to being insecure enough about my IQ to care if my chess rating is symptomatic of having a below-exceptional IQ

thanks for lettting us know, it will be our secret.....
I've tested above 140 in multiple IQ tests, though I don't believe my problem solving abilities correlate much with my chess playing. It's just a high score that demonstrates I'm good at answering IQ test questions.
I was quite terrible at chess for many years.
Practice and experience helped me to improve--my intelligence did little, except allow me to appreciate the beauty of my opponent's moves when they crushed me. :D
Ha ha love it, I can empathise with that!
Unfortunately, one of the downsides to understanding is that, it requires greater effort than being a moron...
