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.
What's is Magnus Carlsen's IQ?
Sort:
Why you care?
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.

It is unclear whether he has ever taken a standard test to determine his IQ or if he has chosen to keep the information private. However, estimates place Magnus Carlsen's IQ around 190, which would place him among the top echelons of intellectual capabilities.

I doubt he would get an IQ of 190 I bet it's probably around 130 maybe
IQ tests are dumb cause sometimds emotions okay a roll in testing if you hate it you will most likely score worse
It is IQ

Magnus Carlsen telling you flat out that he has never taken an IQ test...
Estimating IQ results are what people with low IQs do.

But below you for commenting on something from 13 years ago without context

Please don't argue with super kids. You can't win, by definition
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.
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
