11 years old, potential of ~1400-1600 rating for me.

And yet, I estimate my IQ is 105-125.

It's a mistake to claim that accomplished chess players are smarter than the general population.

If your IQ is that high, you should shun chess. It is a waste of your potential.

the average iq of a chess player is probably the same as the average iq of the average adult human. 100

good luck

It's also important to know that age plays a role in IQ, for example if you know things a 20 year old would know at age 15, you'd have a higher than average iq; However, if you're a 20 year old who knows things that 20 year olds know, you'd be average. So always keep learning

question is irrelevant since it depends on how good you are. the only thing answered by this question is what IQ people get interested in chess

Both shakira and Mily Cyrus have high IQ's Shakira is around 140, Sylvester Stallone is 160 the one reason he didn't split the atom was because no one could understand him when he talked. Makes me wonder if it really matters that much, emotional quotient may possibly help chess skill, you would be less prone to tilt because of acute self awareness and in general people with high EQ are more successful and less introverted then their counter-parts

Title please help
Btw Magnus Carlsons IQ is 190

Nope. He’s never taken a test. Estimates based on his chess skill are rooted in questionable assumptions—essentially estimates of other players’ IQs based on the same assumptions. If you are smart, chances are you don’t play much chess.

Average chess player IQ is 95.

so below average people play chess
