Could they become GM or NM? At the very least is it possible to achieve FM rank?

Eventually, we can probably grow a computer from human brain tissue to model the workings of something like Stockfish, then place it in a human body with the only additional programming being for interfacing, like what is needed to see the board, translate that image into a position, and then guide a hand to make the chosen move on the board. By all standard measurements of IQ, it would score 0, yet beat Magnus Carlsen.

Such an approach seems pretty ethically sound.

I know you can get to be President of the United States if that helps:)

A president's results would be quite good. Bet Magnus Carlsen would offer a draw to Trump immediately.

Chess and IQ are related no question about it.You have to have at least 100 to play this game good.

It is an urban myth that chess and IQ are related.All scientific studies till now show the opposite.

Average intelligence is ok , anything above it might prove more a problem than a help(regarding chess).

 

That gives some form of  hope to low rated players .
