He was in the range of 190-205.

A "very reliable source"? What source? ChatGPT?

To be mentored by someone who knows things that are flagrantly wrong is a terrible fate.

The few things that I know are all true.

A 205 IQ is around 1 in 750 billion people... please just stop talking, you're embarrassing yourself, you have no idea what you're saying.

Kasparov took a test under appropriate conditions. Actually, he took two. 123 and 135 were the results. I offered you the link to the Der Spiegel article. There is no need to speculate when we have data.

When you examine their life outside of chess, there is no question that Kasparov is much brighter than Fischer. Fischer, therefore, must be substantially below 135.

IQ is not the same as Chess playing abilities, IQ tests are not really measuring your ability to think like a Chess player. IQ is more like pattern recognition and general knowledge; not Chess at all. So I think that Hikaru's chess playing abilities wouldn't affect his IQ very much.

I would say 95-150 for that reason.

I still said he was 190-205. I never said 205.

He's in the range of 145-160. Not 95...

As a bare minimum, I meant.

It's very unlikely for him to be 95 IQ.

Possible, but extremely unlikely; I agree.

Most posters here seem to have little knowledge of what IQ is or how it is measured

Happy birthday hikaru!!!

Just watched Hikaru’s analysis of game 12. The dude’s bright. Do not take the 102 from a non-serious online test as credible. Nor should we believe any claims in the stratosphere of IQ numbers as these have never been shown by any test ever of any grandmaster in history. Speculation grounded in misunderstanding is useless.
