Chess is ok if you want to pose as smart, but if you really want to impress everyone you need to work more in your fake intellectual persona. First step is, of course, Latin. Learn some quotes and locutions and use them as often as possible. Never forget to enlighten the peasants who dare ask about the meaning of said quote/locution. Some quotes to start:
Delenda est Carthago
Tu quoque, fili mi!
Vae victus!
Gallia es omnis divisa in partes tres
Alea iacta est
Quintili Vare legiones redde
Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra?
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
...
As for Latin locutions, learn as many as you can. The only essential one is "ad hominem", of course. Learning the name of other fallacies can also be pretty useful. Shouting "ad populum" or "ad verecundiam" easily tricks the opponent into thinking you are Wisdom made flesh. While he is distracted by your useless knowledge, you can prepare the arguments you obviously lacked before.

It really is as simple as that, except that cognitive ability isn't fixed in an individual but varies according to circumstances and context.
I think we can both agree that there are vastly more intelligent people out there than us. They might be solving the mysteries of quantum physics, or decoding the human genome.>>
I wouldn't go along with that at all. Mind you, I can't speak for others.

Indeed, knowing some Latin can really come in handy when you're having a heated argument with someone. A few of my personal favorites to shout at people are:
Ad nauseum!
Viva la vida!
En passant!
Onomatopoeia!
I love seeing the confused look on the face of my opponent when I come at them with one of these phrases. Having no knowledge of Latin, they obviously have no idea how to respond.

Well, we usually try to keep out the smart people, but a few of them manage to sneak in anyways...
<<so it show's that people>>
Doesn't do much for your grammar does it? I thought intelligent people would be able to do grammar.
Grammar is the least and last problem an intelligent person need to worry about. They have world peace to worry about.

Hmm... no idea. I'm not even smart enough to understand what's the point of the question.
