Chess Grandmasters IQ
"Every chess master was once a beginner."
-Irving Cherving
This is just a silly blog, because chess has nothing to do with intelligence, although many people believe so. I just found it an interesting topic and I also needed a blog idea. Note that the information may be incorrect, so just let me know. So here is what I found;
MAGNUS CARLSEN
Let's start off with Magnus. I didn't find any precise answer but it's estimated to be around 190.
HIKARU NAKAMURA
Let's continue with Hikaru Nakamura. I found that in 2020 Hikaru took an IQ test and got 102 out of it. Now, three years later, he has probably more IQ but this is the best I got.
WESLEY SO
Based on my research, Wesley has an IQ of 170.
BOBBY FISCHER
Bobby Fischer is estimated to be around 148-160 based on my research.
And that's everything I have for you today. I will probably do another one, featuring more grandmasters. Or maybe just other masters, like Levy Rozman, Anna Cramling, The Botez Sisters and more.
But thank you for reading my blog.
Bye!
