IQ to chess skill, does it make a differnce?

Congrats on your USCF rating

but idk why i'm pointing this out, but thats awfully close to the bottom 2

IQ doesn't really mean how smart a person is, but it shows how much potential a person has. If a kid with IQ 70 studies very hard, he might be smarter than a IQ 150 who didn't study at all.

Neither will cut it in college, unless mommy or daddy is loaded.

Unless they can throw a ball really farok ill stop

IQ has absolutely nothing to do with chess. IQ is a measure of intelligence, chess is a measure of how good you are at a board game and in visualizing piece placements in your calculation, they are polar opposites.

There are several parameters involved in the concept of human intelligence. Chess is only a practical form of visual IQ. The super GMs are all very visual in their IQ-profile, and they can easily play several games simultaneously - blindfolded !

A complete IQ-profile should include these parameters:

•  Musical-rhythmic and harmonic
•  Visual-spatial
•  Verbal-linguistic
•  Logical-mathematical
•  Bodily-kinesthetic
•  Interpersonal
•  Intrapersonal
•  Naturalistic
• Existential

Chess is more logical than visual I think. You gotta understand the patterns and the logical interlinks between them

Certainly so, but if you don't see it in your head - you can't apply your logical IQ.

1) First we see something.

2) Then we assess if it is important or irrelevant.

3) If we find it important, we start analyzing it.

4) When our analysis is ready, we make a decision based on our conslusion from the analysis.

That makes a lot of sense. I'm still struggling to visualise the board in my mind but I can recognize patterns and solve tactical exercises based on what I see

I have a completely blinds mind eye. I cannot visualize anything in my conscious mind. I cannot recall any imagery, sounds, visuals, nothing. My Chess skills seem to be progressing along a normal rate, why would that be possible?  Any thoughts?

I have no musical talent.

110 to 2500+  not a good correlation?

Chess is just another skill and is true for most other skills, u get better the more you do it. If for example say you are a billionaire who can afford to sit around all day and you decide to analyze games for 16 hours a day, calculating variations and visualizing positions for 16 hours a day then your rating will shoot up to the sky in a few months regardless of your IQ or anything else

Here we go again...

If your IQ is really 73 you can qualify for the special olympic candidates. Stephen Hawking was kinda smart and he sucked at chess

You're asking if your brain was different, would you play chess differently - the answer is yes.

I went to university with a guy who could read Akkadian as well as you or I can read English (yeah, that horrible wedge shaped writing) but he couldn't add up a bill in a restaurant,  and he caught a train to Scotland once when trying to get to London - people's brains work in many many different ways.

Well taking iodine in the form of sea kelp or other sea vegetable can increase iq. You don't have to born genetically with high iq.

I don't think u will be able to find your real iq in websites after they ask some questions and say this is your Iq dosent mean you are not smart

Websites do not measure your iq properly, and yeah, maybe a higher iq will mean that you are better at logic so chess will be a bit easier, but it does not specifically affect your chess rating, only practice helps with chess 

where did you check your IQ?
