what’s the average IQ of a regular chess player

anyone who knows the rules can be a surprise because our mind thinks new staergies

I’m 130 IQ

Chess also has an appeal to those that want to be perceived as smarter, so that might lower the score closer to average.

When one takes into account that the average chess player on chessdotcom is well below average, this must be considered a possibility.
If @mpaetz is correct, however, I would think that 105 would be a better estimate.

How am I better than u then?

Chess, like any hobby, doesn't need to be based on intelligence. The more drive/ambition you have to improve upon something in your life is what determines growth. A monkey could play a guitar if it wanted to, but I don't think they are interested in learning the chords.

Having intelligence doesn't mean you make good choices. Wisdom comes from learning from bad choices.

By the sheer number of blunders i have seen maybe 91

i think they should replace regular chess with chess960

The title of this was IQ of players, plus, regular chess better than chess960 to be honest

My friend took this Inaccurate Chess test, it said he was advanced 1, thats wrong, I'm lower than advanced one and I've beaten him, he said the test only had one game against a bot, and a few puzzles

I asked how I am better than u then?

chess960 is purely talent unlike regular chess

They should replace you with Folger's Crystals. Let's see if anyone notices.

IQ doesn't determine anything

My iq is 194 so that should raise the average for chess players to atleast about 85 (the rest aren't that smart actually)

I am sorry, but I find that very hard to believe

My IQ? 138
