i mean Kasparov is smart no doubt but why should he be smarter then Fischer, but even if we would accept it. Why would Judith and Robert Byrne be smarter then Fischer... that is the greatest bull i ever read in my entire life.
What's is Magnus Carlsen's IQ?
Sort:
i think Fischer had the greatest intelligence by far and then maybe Kasparov and then Carslen.
I would say an IQ above that of your average potato is required to pass comment.

So, you can find it on the net:
Garry Kasparov: 190
Bobby Fischer: 167
Judith Polgar: 170
Robert Byrne: 170
But Carlsen, should we guess, would be around 180-190
so if that is true we can savely say that iq doesnt mean anything. what iq after that logic would Jesse Livermore have 120???
Well, just because its on the net doesn't mean it's always true. Where did you get these statistics.
Those IQ scores are "projected."
They are not verified. Just random guesses from "top men."
being a chess genious often comes at the cost of being somewhat disabled in the real life beside the game. Just look at some of the former world champs like Fischer.

how was he disabled he had a wife, and he got invited by princes and millionaires.

LOL, so suddenly we should award people titles based on their relatively strength, rather than the absolute one?
a good chess player shouldn't necessarily have a high iq, he played a lot of games more than all the other grandmasters until he became familiar with many patterns and combinations.And as Shivsky said what a miserable life to spend all day playing a board game.

Tetsuo - your posts are close to the greatest bull I have ever read in my entire life.
If someone can become a grandmaster at the age of 13 it can't be explained just by experience. These grandmasters should have something special and it wouldn't be surprising to discover that special thing is high iq. It doesn't mean that all smart people are chess players but it implies that all great chess players are smart.
Probably around 170.
His IQ is probably huge, just like his gi-normous forehead 
It is 2870 and rising...
