Actually chess is somewhat related to I.Q., someone with a higher I.Q. is generally more intelligent, meaning they can probably understand and learn faster, meaning they are generally a better chess player. That's not to say someone with an I.Q. of 90 can't become a Grandmaster, it would just take them much much longer and be much much more difficult than someone with an I.Q. of 160.

I believe this post is off topic.

Can you get a minus score on an IQ test? Does Chess.com honor Federal or State laws concerning cannabis? Does all caps in a title mean someone is vitually shouting? Why would a company call lighters "BIC"? Why is it called the equator, instead of the fat tummy of the earth?

Reminds me of a joke in stats class, the guy in the class who was ranked in the 1st percentile thought he was number one.

Your just making my point running your mouth.

Was your point about running, mouths, or me? I can speak sub-intelligently about all those subjectsSmile

We've been on quite a search for someone with an IQ in the forums, though I doubt we'll recognize one when we see one.
