Well I’m noticing the higher my chess rating goes the lower my IQ goes so
Yes, because the brain is shrinking for the short burst of efficiency in something trivial

I asked some time ago whether one would expect someone of IQ = 60 to be a good chess player.
I'd argue that it's possible. But they would certainly need extensive, guided instruction. And a lot of repetition.
A player with a high IQ, on the other hand, would have a much greater capacity to teach himself, to generate his own ideas and conclusions, and obviously would be able to improve in a shorter amount of time.
However, one thing worth pondering: would a player with an IQ of 60 remain at 60, after continuous chess instruction?
Some studies suggest that such a player's IQ would rise over time, as a direct result of all the structured cognitive effort.
I've mentioned it before: one's IQ isn't necessarily a static thing. It can change, if one's environment and cognitive demands are changed as well.

There is something about people, some like wisdom get to rise when they eat healthy foods, especially loremps bisquets. It makes me bitter, because my play have to suffer. And I do suffer too. It is like some worm between me, car horn guy, broke skull, through the skin, all over the surface we made little base camps. He was a very annoying man. His iq was measured to be 116, and he was annoyed with the score and practiced up until he scored 140, and he showed the certificate to his girlfriend. She left him because he got upset when he received no reaction from her. They played some chess with some other chess players and they both get scored. And now are equal.

I'll say one thing. Blitz ratings are definitely not highly correlated with chess ability.
Ummm... The top players in the world in classical chess are also the top rated blitz players. Perhaps classical chess also isn't highly correlated with chess ability?

Here is a table created by the statistician and chess player @SmarterChess. I know he can answer the question of the correlation between chess.com's blitz rating and OTB ratings, but the chart suggests that there is a strong correlation between blitz ratings and classical chess ratings:

If you need a resolution, be careful about little things, and try not to waste life in a high detail. Lose some on a great scale, then is a question about custom resolution. Don't mind the context, because you will never be able to understand one if you are really smart. If you are not, you will believe in something that is not there and you will easily get upset about it.

It is more about how we tend to make and keep money. Chess rating can be connected with that. Believe I am smart and poor, so basically a genius, I know this.
What a great topic.
Thank you for posting.
We are going to settle this matter once and for all here in London at Speakers Corner, Hyde Park.

Here in London at Speakers Corner, Hyde Park will be the exception.

Does anyone have information about any direct correlation between OTB rating and general intelligence? I vaguely recall British G.M Jonathan Levitt putting forward the notion that an I.Q of 120 indicates a person could, with sufficient work achieve a rating roughly = 2000 + [I.Q - 100] x 10
Therefore, we can conclude that even a relatively weak G.M would have an I.Q above 140 while super GM's like Kasparov would be > 180.
Those of us who have not yet reached 2000 should not despair. Levitt would tell us either to work at chess more often or change our method.
Given the studies such as that cited at www.auschess.org.au/articles/chessmind.htm I am of the opinion that I.Q is not a genetic parameter like eye colour that is handed out at birth, but rather can be altered through one's environment. I think there are three groups of people...average of which I am unfortunately a member, the gifted and the handicapped.
Any ideas or information on the subject is appreciated.
No, there is literally no correlation between IQ and chess and I don't know why people keep asking and insisting on this.
Kasparov does not have a 180+ IQ. Neither did Fischer.
Those IQ to chess rating formulas are crap.

Peter Svidler had this to say about Hou Yifan:
"There's this image of chess players being ultrasmart, nerdy experts, but the truth is most chess players have one marketable skill. You go all-in, and you paint yourself into a corner," said Peter Svidler, a grandmaster and seven-time Russian national champion. But Hou was different, he said. "She could walk away and have somewhere to walk away to."

He doesn't seem to be here.
If Kasparov were correct, his chess ability wouldn't indicate that he could out-argue me, now would it.
sorry sir 
i apology for my low level intelect ill probably never become a grandmaster now that youve showed me how dumb i am
