Relationship between Chess rating and I.Q?

Yeah, they mostly are good at chunking information on board into meaningful chunks but pretty sure that they weren't better at other type of memory games where you try remember position outside chess board and pieces.

There is no correlation it’s just practice 

If anyone believes IQ is totally irrelevant to knowledge acquisition, that person is simply ignorant.

You don't take a lot of time on your tactics puzzles. 

2 years ago  i had an iq of 133 but now it is 121 so i dont think so it really affects your iq by a huge margin but yeah it really does.

obvious, Bobby or Kasparov both had super high IQ above 160, no low IQ people became world champions... 

I think we can safely say that it changes throughout your lifetime, since it's simply a measurement of your ability at completing a test at any given time.

The problem emerges because IQ was originally measured as a proportion of mental age as measured by a test regulated to measure ability as represented by corresponding average expectations for the range of chronological ages, to chronological age.

I'm sorry about that. I expect what I wrote is logically correct but still, it probably came out as gobbledegook. However, adults stop increasing in mental ability and then they decrease, so a way had to be found to bring the measurements for adults into line with the original formulation.

Thanks and I appreciate your ability to unfurl my convoluted use of language.

I edited to add this: "However, adults stop increasing in mental ability and then they decrease, so a way had to be found to bring the measurements for adults into line with the original formulation."

Stop spamming.

Don't answer, just report. Pretty sure I've seen that bot on some topics with a regular interval between posting that oneliner and then being silent for a while. Pretty good to avoid notice, unlike other bots that just spam whole forum.

I always report, as I did in this case.  This is not a bot, though, thus, the answer. 

     Kasparov took an extensive IQ test and reported a score of 135--a very good score but far short of your claim. There is no actual record of Fischer's IQ score, just a "I heard from somebody years ago that they had seen a document that has since been lost" report.

Well done. I thought someone else would answer .... very possibly you. I believe F never took a full IQ test.

    IQ and other tests were given to most New York City school children when Bobby was a child so there probably was one. The records were confidential and later discarded but a Fischer biographer claimed to have spoken to a NYC schools employee who claimed to have seen it years earlier. not very good proof.

There are claims that Fischer had an eidetic memory. Wouldn’t that ability have given him an edge with IQ tests?

     IQ tests do not measure acquired knowledge, so remembering facts cannot help you. Neither Fischer nor anyone who knew him ever said he was eidetic. He did have have great visual memory, a trait many other top players have displayed.

Copied from a Quora reply: “

According to:

http://billwall.phpwebhosting.com/articles/Memory.htm

“Bobby Fischer’s memory for chess was pretty good. At the conclusion of the unofficial Blitz Championship of the World at Hercegnovi, Yugoslavia, in 1970, Fischer rattled off the scores of all his twenty-two games, involving more than 1,000 moves, from memory. And just prior to his historic match with Taimanov, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Fischer met the Russian player Vasiukov and showed him a speed game that the two had played in Moscow fifteen years before. Fischer recalled the game move by move…”

 I remember hearing something similar when I was young.

IQ does measure how quickly you can acquire and remember knowledge.
