Can you post the game if it ever happens?
Can a teenager increase his IQ

I probably would if it were not for his high IQ knowing better than to play. The challenge is only minutes old but, let's see what happens shall we?
let's see; atrolling we will go, atrolling we will go, hi ho the dairy O, a trolling we will go! ...hmmm, I have some extra time on my hands. Sure wish I had someone to play chess AGAINST! Someone with super powers AND a high IQ. Which reminds me maybe Troy should have served me better but, has anyone heard from The student of the top university with the IQ so high we need an Integral Calculus come close to it?

I'm 15yr reasonably sharp but certainly no genious. Is they're any way to increase my IQ. I know the difference between brain power and knowledge.
Alrighty now. First things first. In your second sentence you use the word they're instead of the proper word there. Aaand you're 15, you should know better. So, got a bit of ground to cover. When I was 15, your age by the way, I was in college. I thought test scores meant more than I do now. Don't worry about increasing your score, it doesn't matter. A person with an IQ score of 100 can outperform a person with a score of 150 in many areas of life, mentally too. However, if their average score is 85, well, then forget it. Just kidding, that's a joke. You can have a low score and practice a bit and enhance the score, but it won't be dramatic. There are many things you can do to enhance some of your innate mental abilities but in general you're going to remain about the same. That doesn't mean you can't be a very strong chess player and do very well in the rest of your life and that's the really important part.
Are you kidding me? That's what this was all about. Like most people if while I'm typing the proper word comes up I'll touch it and go to the next word. I didn't intentionally write they're instead of there.
Just read it to quickly and didn't catch it. I know better.
Someone who doesn't know the difference between the two would never use a contraction instead of the simple "there".

The real question is... can a teenager become profoundly gifted even if he starts at average intelligence?

Yes, I am living proof.

And what will that amount to? Will he be able to suppress zits at will? Ace pop quizzes? Play a mean guitar?
A high intelligence level would help with excelling at all of those activities considering that he can learn/process things in an efficient and rapid manner.

how ridiculous all this obsession over an IQ number . . . I'm off to the live chess where I can obsess over my rating number
To me, a perfect person has an intelligence level at the profoundly gifted arena. Why wouldn't you want a high IQ to make your life easier? I get that a high IQ can be correlated with some mental disorders but there are people like Terence Tao who have the right frames of mind and are profoundly gifted. Hell, Tao's blog is popular for advice for mathematical research.

So if your in the 99 percentile, your smarter than anybody lower than 99 percent of the population.
99.99% and higher would be the stratosphere. I'd say the average high school valadictorian, for a large school, would be at least 99.9 or higher.
FYI.. I'm just an average smart guy, borderline genius. I study hard though and that counts for a lot.
Average smart guy, borderline genius. That is a oxymoron
"Average smart guy, borderline genius" means that he is a genius but an average genius.
I'm profoundly gifted, although I never mention it online. At the age of 9 and 10 I was an arithmetical prodigy but during puberty these gifts ceased to be in evidence. Later, in my very early 20s, they started to return but in different forms. I see no reason why someone should not be normal in adolescence and, later, "become gifted", although I suspect that my answer isn't going to be extremely popular.

That is not what he said. He said average smart guy boarder line genius. He never said nothing about average genius. Read it.
"He never said nothing"... it is clear that your reading comprehension is mediocre.
@MMTMIT Yesterday, I attempt to retort your claim I suffer memory loss however the administration blocked my message. So you might imagine what its content held.
I will try again, I believe you have taken my message to the 6th grader out of context when I wrote regarding his command of the English language. It is called being considerate of others. Which you have little to do with. You are much better at taking me out of context.
In reviewing the DSM V, I see a Histrionic Personality Disorder type response in my near future.
So let's have it. I think I will just not address you anymore lest your sheltered existence include my account being revoked. At the very least you should know someone here may be in concert with your childish behavior. Alas, it just may be they like you more than they do me. Part of my message was let's, you and I play chess. After all this is a chess website and not our private torture chamber in order to take pot shots at one another.
We may even settle something I have been curious about and that is, does someone's higher IQ mean they are better at chess. Notwithstanding, the fact I have little interest in being tested for an IQ. Especially if it is intent is to compare it to a literary dilettantes.
