Perfect answer! I got low IQ but I'm sure I can beat Einstein in chess.

Chess is for people who have a lot of time to waste in their hands; as if wasting time is smart.

Evidently you don't think much of Americans. But fortunately for you, Americans thought much of the British in their darkest hour.>>>
Hi. But taking this seriously, I don't believe that America would have declared war on Nazi Germany if it hadn't been in America's interest to do so. Yes, Britain couldn't have beaten Germany but Germany had already failed to win the war and it was going to be a stalemate. Even so, the USA, when it joined the war, insisted on running it and, of course, they had no combat experience whatsoever and didn't really know how to fight except by building up vastly superior numbers, with better equipment. America prolonged the war by about a year due to inept strategy and caused the situation where the USSR controlled Eastern Germany. Just sayin'.
You obviously don't know much about military history. Many US military leaders were veterans of WWI. And evidently you're not aware that in addition to the war in Europe, the US was fighting the Japanese in the Pacific. The US was the only country in the world capable of beating either the Germans or the Japanese. I don't care if you dislike America. That costs me nothing. Our nations have been and continue to be close allies, regardless of people like you.

At its core, chess is really only a game of pattern recognition. So I believe that it is not just for "smart" people. However, I will mention that what is often thought of as "smart", are talents such as memory, or calculative-ability, or perhaps even creativity; all of which certainly do not hurt a chess player. Most people do not want to learn a new game (like chess) for the fear of it being "too difficult" - even if this is not true. I famous chess GM (I am not certain, but I think it was Botvinik) once stated, "chess takes five minutes to learn, but a lifetime to master."
Chess is for smart and dumb people. Of course the former tend to win more games. ;-)
Mostly yes.
Chess is a great game. It is the game of the mind. To be successful in this game you have to be a pure genius like me. The key to achieving god-life status like me is STUDY, STUDY, STUDY.
for such a high iq, you could have spent some time calculating and realizing your score is 2.67
x his
Anyone can play chess but if you want to be a GM or IM or those titles, yes, you need to be smart
I think. Having said that, I think playing chess is directly dependent on ones ability to analyze and solve problems. The intelligent quotient (IQ) is a measure ones ability to grasps abstract concepts, quickly or slowly, matters little. The average person with an IQ of say 90 to 110, can play excellent chess, if they have an analytical mind.
You just gotta have a love for the game!
Morphy, Fisher to name a few, persons who played high level chess but suffered from mental illness, but never got professional help. smart?
The people you are talking about were top class chess players. But this has nothing to do with being smart.
If you are good at chess you are good at chess. There is no correlation between being smart/making wise life choices and being good at chess.
