There is NO proof that IQ and chess abilities are at all related. Everyone here who says "his IQ must be higher than that" or "you have to have a high IQ to become a GM" is simply basing their opinion on an unproven assumption.

Just look at the real world all around you. There are certainly many successful people in many fields of endeavor who display no signs of high IQ. You would think someone would need a high IQ to reach the upper levels of government--assessing voters' desires, coming up with winning policies, persuading other politicians to follow their lead--but I'll warrant that everyone here can point out people at the highest levels of their country's ruling class that are clearly well shy of genius IQ.

Elon Musk?

Elon Musk: "I want an AI robot! Make me an AI robot!"

His engineers: "Technology isn't yet ready for that kind of advancement, sir."

Elon Musk: "Don't give me that big-brain mumbo-jumbo talk. Just make it happen, so I can say I did it!"

His engineers: "We'll do our best, sir ..."

At the convention: *A person in a suit dances around, pretending to be a robot*

Elon Musk: *Watches proudly*

Bullet is a better measure of raw intelligence than any IQ test. Hikaru is a genius. No question.

The guy's IQ is well known to be a single digit long... Which narrows it down quite significantly.

Iq tests measure pattern recognition ability so I assume any gm is 140+

Your assumption has been tested in a few rare cases. Garry Kasparov, the best chess player ever, tested at 135. Certainly he is very bright.

Unlike other players near his level—Fischer, Carlsen, Tal, Capablanca—Kasparov has shown abilities away from chess, too.
