The only 'talent' you need is the willingness to do nothing but chess with the ultimate payoff of being good at a board game no one cares about. Sound like a good investment of your time?
but then again, oso needs help with even brushing his teeth ...

Unnatural talent is probably impossible. Although I think there is a correlation between learning chess during childhood and becoming a GM, talented or not.

I once played blitz 5min in a pub in Ireland against a 2300. He had had a few pints and I was hoping I could draw a few or at least get some attacking chances. He wiped me off the board many times in a row effortlessly.
The vast majority of even talented players never become GMs. I don't think the average player has any idea of how unbelievably good even a "mere" IM is.
