Yeah, that's the one.

I guess it's been a long time, but I remember liking his posts.

Sad isn't it, that there are only a handful

Oh, I forgot...this is me, too .  

I AM SPARTACUS!

And so is my wife!

Back on topic: certainly problem solving and intelligence is involved in chess, but pattern recognition is key. There are many very intelligent people who are terrible at pattern recognition. IQ may or may not reflect this depending on the type of test.

Taking sides is what you always do, despite your best intentions, I'm sure. I think you must imagine I'm a bit slow. Whatever you prefer to call it, whether it's taking sides or something else, it isn't good for your credibility and will result in you having to leave temporarily, again, when you start to dislike yourself again, in this incarnation. You should learn to control your negative thoughts. It's probably too late for the other two but honestly, you veer all over the straight and narrow road you're on.

There's no imagining it...you are a bit slow.  A bit emotionally stunted as well.

You're insulting someone who is a far cry beyond your emotional state.  Negative thoughts are all you have in your life.  At least other people can be honest about themselves.

Batgirl retreated to Facebook of all places. Her posts are still much of the reason I log in there.

I am still in contact with Batgirl, er, I mean, me.  Doubt I will go to Facebook, though.

I thought Christ was King, GreatBigWave.  Both of your profiles agree (or agreed) on that point.  Maybe you need some lessons from me, the undisputed king of sockpuppets (according to two whole people).

Why not stop gaslighting old muttonchops and move one with your life, such as it is.

You guys realize that this should be about IQ and not burgers, right?

Is this directed at me?

You don't necessarily need to be good at pattern recognition to play chess well.

I'd argue that the main skill you need is to be able to think several possible moves ahead, and to evaluate these hypothetical positions ...
