This is a wrong type of mentality that can surmount to foolishness. Carlsen beat Bill Gates who is currently the richest man in the world by 12 seconds. Bill Gates had 1 min 10 sec left and Carlsen had 18 seconds and so used the 12 seconds to defeat Gates. So before you call lowly rated players dumb know that Bill Gates can by Carlsen and the twelve generations before his existence to serve him so stop judging people. Actually according to Forbes most great chess players are not that great at business. So before you call yourself smart or think you are a genius think again and this goes to other people in this group because the world works different. So next time you judge people get your facts right.
In the world of chess players, anyone below their ratings are dumb and anyone above "feels" smart. For non chess players, yes they see us as look smart for seeming to be thinking and solving complex puzzles.

Why does light travel faster than sound.... To permit the American to appear bright before he speaks....Yes! .... Ask a stupid question to get an intelligent answer.
Good chess = good memory = smart
the point of chess is for people who like chess to play..?
but then it takes a lot of strategy and planning which in turn makes you smart

So now there is a vice-versa relationship between intelligence and how much money you have? Wow, how about all the smart people that are not the smartest, so don't get promoted all the way to the top? Are they all dumb because they are not rich. Capitalism by definition is anti-meritocratic. And also there is more than one type of intelligence. One does not have to be good at business to be intelligent. It takes some intelligence to come up with relevant candidate moves, and ask intelligent questions relating to the position. Granted a lot of chess is also pattern recognition and practising tactics, not necessarily exclusively intelligence based, but still... Also of course there are many jobs that require much more intelligence than chess, but what got me about this remark is the idea that someone is intelligent just because he is rich. Maybe I read between the lines wrong I don't know.

Evidently you don't think much of Americans. But fortunately for you, Americans thought much of the British in their darkest hour.
