Is there a rating limit for my average brain?

I declare, with absolute scientific certainty, that the rating limit for your average brain is between 2145.7 and 2281.5 FIDE, There are those who might tell you that the lower limit is actually 2143.65 and the upper limit is 2284.3, but don't listen to them! They are all unscientific frauds

I'm really glad you cleared that up for us Laskersnephew.

I think your information is absurd because there are no decimals in fide ratings.

p.s. Do that limit apply for the average brain or the true average brain, as someone mentioned in this topic?

There are, but they’re not published (but yes it’s absurd lol)

When I started playing, ratings were even rounded to the nearest 5 - so you could be 2295 or 2360 or whatever, but not 2267 etc.

I meant that his rating range was absurd, like I believe in it. Ratings in decimals? Guess mathematicians have to do something as well. Personally not interested.

Of course it's absurd! And yet is is far less absurd than all of these numbwits who pretend that they know the answer--and that they have special knowledge of every chess champion's IQ

Passion, the ability to focus the mind, some creativity and good intuition will take you further than any high IQ score, in any endevour you may choose in life. A high IQ will help im sure, but not so much that cant it be matched with dedication and hard work. I dont think IQ is a defining factor in determining a limit to your success at anything, and without some degree of the other qualities, it counts for very little. Never let anyone set your limits for you, no matter what their expertise. You may surprise yourself, and them.
