Those ratings are not official. They are estimates.

Err, wrong...

He still has a lot of difficulty with his speech and sometimes he barely makes sense.

@Twobit are you joking, how could you possibly be serious in saying carlsen's iq is 180-190? if kasparov's iq is 190 then carlsen's iq has to be above 210 ATLEAST. he smoked kasparov with ease when he was like frickin 5 years old.

IQ and chess skill are not related.

I would not be impressed if his IQ ranged from 120-140.

Einstein had a 160 IQ. You don't need a very high IQ to be a genius.

Being a genius means you can stop, think(or have an idea),  plan how to accomplish the idea and finally apply it.

Carlsen has a lot of dedication on chess(almost his whole life) and a mind that never forgets any of his games he ever played. He has an unusual talent/brain. Plus you know, pure talent. 

Einstein never took an IQ test, howewer. He was very smart, but also very obsessed in physics (like FIscher in chess), so he could discover new physics's laws.

IQ and chess skill are not related.

Also, his story about Carlsen beating him with ease at 5 is entirely fictional.

Do amazing memorization skills and calculation skills indicate high intelligence ? The last time I considered this, I came to the conclusion that they generally point to high intellect. I haven't met any morons, who have minds like a steel trap or who could consider a myriad of details in conjunction, especially abstractly. I think that the only way to administer adequate IQ testing to begin with, is to find the most intelligent people and have them consider the proper criteria to create the tests, otherwise, I find brilliant people have to think the way idiots do who create the tests and pick the answers for questions they see better alternatives for. It is a common strategy of those who test others, to use inferior logic, to try tricking them. I find from personal experience, tests can be in such a way that the answers can be a matter of perspective. The test creator doesn't dictate what the truth is simply because, they are creating a test. Yet,I have found that they leave no provision for more profound thinking or alternate correct answers. If they reason a more intelligent response is based upon something in their opinion, it might not be shared with someone else.

I guess it's because he plays an intellectal game at top level and fails with the easiest things.

Whatever it is, but not better than my iq

I strongly suspect that his is at least double-digit, so you might be wrong.

While that's true, I'm guessing goldendog was referring to Yereslov not making much sense.
