Bob is smarter. Chess doesn't cover language.
Does Being Good At Chess Make u Smarter then others
Good chess players are good at ... chess.
I mean, just look at Nakamura, top of the world in chess, but really slow in general at non-chess stuff. He does not come across as a very bright person if you put aside his chess.

I’m an expert rated player but I frequently sacrifice my grades to play a board game. Does this make me smarter than others?

Get good at bord game = good grades. It’s the law of equivalent exchange

Also, I’m going to add that it would look very egotistical to assume you’re smarter than others because you are good at bord game.

You’re wrong. Due to the law of the conservation of momentum, skill at chess and grades are inversely proportional. As your skill in chess increases, you gain momentum in improvement, which must be taken from something. After all, the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred.

This assumes that the energy that fuels the momentum is being taken from your studies. It very well could be taken from, oh, I dunno, my skill and dedication to professional hopscotch.
According to the dictionary and standard use in language, smart means intelligent in a broad sense. Being good at chess does not require this. The skills required to be good at a specific thing like chess are very narrow. Put bluntly, you could be good at chess and not know how to tie your shoes.
For example, if the OP was smart this thread would have been put in the off topic area and his sentences would have been properly punctuated.
does anyone even care bout punctuations/.,.,..*/-+
does anyone even care bout punctuations/.,.,..*/-+
Not if you are illiterate.
But if you are ill iteratively then you may still care about punctuation.
PS to return to the topic, I've known many good chess players that were not otherwise successful in their endeavors and I've known many that were successful. Skill in chess may indicate a somewhat better grasp of serial logic, but it does not automatically indicate intelligence.

more skilled at planning, analyzing, calculating, deciding, evaluating... higher patience, fortitude, determination, creativity... my employers were impressed that i was the area champ: what matters is that certain people THINK chess makes you smarter than the average person.

No. Actually me devoting this much of my life to a board game might be evidence that I’m dumber than everyone else.

Try putting your chess rating on a resume and see how far it takes you.
lmao I can just imagine “yes sir you should hire me because I’m rated 1142 on chess.com and as you can see my puzzle rating is exceptionally high...”
