What is Magnus’ IQ
Sort:
atleast 200
Probably 120-130 numerically, 80-130 verbally and figurally.
There are no authoritative sources for any of the guesses you’ll see in this forum. What little research there has been on the subject seems to indicate that there is a very small positive correlation between IQ and chess strength
190
But....... Nothing

Perfect!
Probably around 100, which is average. Chess isn't a good IQ quantity tool.
180 or 190 makes more sense to me.

I mean for example Albert Einstein had a iq between 150 to 170.... And he wasn't a great chess player...

Hikarus is not 102, that was just from an online test which is not accurate. Magnus’s is estimated to be 180 after you plug his rating into the equation (IQ x 10) + 1000. This is for the maximum rating a player can achieve.

There is on both ends of the scale high IQ + hard work = good chess player
low IQ + hard work = decent chess player

A serious study on chess/IQ correlation where they managed to control for practice. The result is that there is a statistically significant positive correlation between IQ and chess skills.
hikaru only 102?!
