I'd be hard pressed to think any GM let alone Kaspsrov, Fisher, Calsen etc have actually genius IQs

If they do have genius IQ's... they are lazy genius'

All that IQ and they try to make a living playing chess? .1% make decent living play chess and only for a short period of time.

What they do have (and this is known) are photographic memories. I'd wager you are not getting higher than 2500 elo without having some level of a photographic memory.

Where the super elite players differ is that they are really good at playing chess also. Carlsen publicly stated he has 10,000 games memorized. So when playing him, he's recalling game analysis till someone diverges from known theory.

My guess is 115-150 and I believe the odds are in my favour

If they had photographic memory they would be better at memorizing other things but they arnt they are better at learning chess specifically

"Lazy genius"

Just iq alone does not guarantee performance. Many high iq individuals still struggle in life and depression is not uncommon. Furthermore, iq is far from a perfect way to measure intellectual performance.

It's the same as be great at anything else (anything).

Do you honestly think he is brilliant enough and may come up with a new fuel source and way's to prevent starvation and war????????

I would not have enough time in my life to write down everything he can't even do!

I really hope you have all understood and try not to be clever and write rubbish to prove to yourself how brilliant you and he is, just because you all agree.

no one can stop starvation and war because of the chaos theory. the past Chess players and the past scientists never tried to stop war & starvation because they know about the chaos theory. There is no way to predict human behavior, therefore no one can stop war because there is always someone who can cause it. Of course Magnus carlsen is not that smart, say, in science or technology, but he is still smart. besides who cares about IQ, its just a measure of the price you're willing to pay for a number

That's a very bad argument if they are good enough to become World Champion.

Ability at chess is bound to correlate positively with IQ but it won't be as accurate as well-constructed IQ tests.

Yes probably there is a positive correlation but there are bound to be people with normal iq levels and really good at chess iq is probably more of a correlation instead of an effect tof being really good at chess

Normal, IQ. Chess has no connection to iq. I have seen street hustlers who can't read, write or do math, but can play very great, quick games of chess.

He can memorize over 10000 games and played 10 chess games at once blindfolded. That alone is effing insane and would place him at least at 145+ IQ.

Carlsen's statement that he doesn't calculate moves smells of bull crap to me. I think that is ridiculous. Maybe that is true to an extent, but I'll be he is oversimplifying this a lot. Otherwise why does he look at the position for several minutes. Is he staring at the board try to get in touch with his feelings every time?

he said it was to confirm his moves. Probably similar to how when you do a math problem so fast that even you doubt yourself and do it a couple times over to verify

Memory has nothing to do with intellicence my friend. Theres some link but having a good memory doesn't equal high iq.

True; IQ tests do not measure the ability to memorize and recall facts.
