Is chess for smart people?

a tad extreme, sir. HAHA......but I know you are having fun.

I will answer your question with a question.
In these forums how many really clever people have you met?
Actually, I have met a LOT of clever people. You, for example, are VERY intelligent. I would say you have a very high IQ, DeirdreSkye. We should play a few games

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.

I wouldn't so much say smart as I would say not stupid. I think it's much more important not to be an idiot than to be a genius, until you get to a level far above mine or any of the people likely to post here.

I don't get it. I come up with a perfectly interesting forum topic and it gets maybe a couple of responses. But a dumb topic like this one gets many responses!
The fact that you feel the need to bring that up again makes you look freaking pathetic. HAHAHAHA you're so funny!!! LLLLooooser!!!!

IQ does not define your intelligent by the way. It is just a measurement and a theory.
And theory is always tentative, open to refutation

I have a IQ of 152 from my school's IQ test.

As does the entire internet.
Liar!
what is your opinion?
