It can't be pfren. He has at leat 75 IQ and I know a candidate master who is even worse. Also Fischer should be considered.

Chess is a game that require a lot of study and practice. Maybe smarter people learn faster, but to be good in chess you need to put a lot of effort.

I thought it stood for Inherent Quality.

Richard Feynman had an IQ of 125. All I would really take from this is that above 120, IQ tests seem to be just measuring how good you are at taking IQ tests.

Yeah, and Feynman wasn't even a Candidate Master. Just too dumb for it, this Feynman-guy.

Congratulations:  an even stupider topic than the previous Stupidest Topic Ever Around Here.

Ivanov because engines can never have a testable IQ score. So Ivanov =

Zero IQ.

title = EM = engine master

I don't know...somehow a stupid post just seemed like the right call.

Considering we have 9 year old master(s) now, and that if they maintained their chess and intelligence to adulthood, then their IQ would be what... 50?  So I think that's a good answer.  The lowest IQ for a titled player is about 50.

I should have know better but yet here i am.

Lowest IQ of member coming to read this?

There is no lower bound. A better question is "What is the highest IQ of members coming to read this?" Which, I assume, is around 70.

"Does he mean us, George?"...

Good one!
