Over 1100 posts.
This much is known.
Hikaru Nakamura took an inaccurate online IQ test while streaming, which is far from ideal testing conditions. His score was just above 100.
Neither this test, nor grandiose estimates dozens of points higher should be taken seriously.
In short, we do not know. His success in chess, streaming, and business all tend to support intelligence, likely above average.

to get far in any intellectually demanding field, you need at the very least a 120 iq.
A very nice claim. Of course there is complete lack of scientific and/or empirical evidence in that, but we all know that evidence is a naughty girl.
Wow, it's Pfren...long time no see.

Based on the evidence I have seen, it is nearer true that the average IQs of those in intellectually demanding fields is around 120. It varies with the field, but given that this is not much more than a single standard deviation, it shows a rather loose relationship. Excelling is about specialised development, not stellar capabilities at IQ tests.
We should talk about some other correlations...like the use of the word "skibidi" and low IQ.
