chess and IQ
Sort:
hi, I am struggling between 1450-1600 from last 3 years . no matter hard I try I unable to defeat any 1700+ player , this brings me a theory that it is possible that my IQ is capable only to achieve around 1600 and I can't defeat any 1700+ players since their IQ Must be better than me .. I see it's all LUCK..lucky those 1700+ players who naturally got bigger sharper brain ...it's not Talent but Luck ...thank you
so which is the world recognised ? Blitz or classic ?
The brain is a complex organ. I'm a borderline genius. But never was able to translate that into being a better chess player.
I do excel is some stuff though.

"No matter how hard I try"? You didn't study enough. Your chess knowledge is 1600 maximum so even if you play seriously the results is still 1600 Performance. Read advance books, solve harder puzzles.

This happens to be the only formula to display the correlation, and mind you, it's thoroughly unreliable. I'll wager Dantzig would have severed it to bits and swallowed it a raw a la COGNITIVE REVOLUTION. The formula: 10 x Iq) + 1000. If your theory is correct and we utilised this formula, you would apparently have an IQ of 60, which is not demonstrated in your forum post. To formulate an account on chess.com and pose a question on here is not typically a demonstrative aspect of someone with 60 IQ

My intelligence quotient happens to in the mid 130s, but look at my Elo rating: a paltry, measly rating defined by the numbers 1,4,2 and 0. No, we can definitely rule out any permutation beginning with 4 or 2 (is a 4000 rating human or has quantum supremacy devoured us?).

I can never understand how someone can be bad at chess. I am bad at things; just not chess.
not talent but luck that someone's cleverer than you? ....... er ... right?
Anyway, the idea that even peak possible chess rating can be a simple function of IQ is drivel because it discounts so many factors.

disagree. i struggled at 900 CFC for like 7 months when i first started, then i started practicing A LOT and my peak chess.com rapid is over 2000, and my peak blitz is 1900+. My IQ is probably trash even though I haven't tested it.
blah blah blah hahaha

I am also not sure how someone can have a high IQ and low chess rating. Given, that they practice enough. The game is logical but some players prefer to play on intuition then science.
woahhh...my rating is now 1625... highest in 3 years ...boy !! that so difficult to achieve this ...I have not slept whole night ...it's 9 am now and I must sleep
by the way just now defeated 1700+ player

IQ and intelligence have nothing to do with chess.
Stockfish is the best in history and it has neither.
but I suppose that is like comparing forkloft with an olympic powerlifter

Good thing too. If being good at chess is the same as having I high IQ, I would have an IQ of 0!
