Chess grandmaster takes iq test

[Mouthbreath]

And gets a score of 102.




Does this now mean iq tests are meaningless or that being good at chess won't translate being smart at other stuff like mathematics?

Or probably he is just an outlier.

Half-Japanese, half-Indian....It's over for him anyway.

His mom doesn't look Indian. I think he's half white.

 

[Deleted member 4106]

This means that being good at chess has nothing to do with iq.
I did that same test and got 110.

if he is a grandmaster there must be correlation

 

[lutte]

Not gonna watch it but is that even a real iq test

 

[TheEndHasNoEnd]

Iq is just reciting the same patterns you've seen before, people who aren't observant of their environment will prob do worse. Doesn't mean their actual pattern recognition and stuff are bad for their field/specialization

 

[CommanderCope]

cuz chess is just algorithms. You don't need to be exceptionally intelligent to play chess.

 

[Deleted member 10524]

IQ means very little this is water

 

[Enfant terrible]

Lets be real he is high iq

 

[Gonthar]

His mom doesn't look Indian. I think he's half white.

His father is...

its like that cube with bricks i forgot whats it called. it has a couple of movements u need to follow and then its easy

 

[Deleted member 6341]

His father is...

Stepfather. His biological parents divorced when he was a kid.

Stepfather. His biological parents divorced when he was a kid.

Then why does he looks exactly like that Indian?

 

[Deleted member 10524]

His mom married an Indian dude twice? Lifefuel for currycels

its called mensa norway, it looked kind of real to me

he really was struggling with the easy puzzles already.

 

[Deleted member 6341]

He doesn't. If anything he looks a typical Japanese guy.

His mom married an Indian dude twice? Lifefuel for currycels

He was born to an American mother and a Japanese father, Shuichi Nakamura but they divorced and the father moved back to Japan.

no jfl

you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

I think his mother cheated with an Indian, that's why they divorced.

IQ is such a shit way to measure intelligence tbh

These people don’t get it either

 

[Butthurt Dweller]

i took a mensa norway IQ test piss-drunk absolutely shitfaced and got 117

"iq" is pseudoscience bullshit because i am dumb as a box of rocks.

 

[Deleted member 5574]

Thee magnus carlsen has an iq of .....190 ,so?

 

[Ritalincell]

Stepfather. His biological parents divorced when he was a kid.

So his mom did not only marry a ricecel but after that also a currycel. Lifefuel for ethnics jfl

The mom is ugly though. I'm not sure that is a lifefuel for ethnics.

 

[Deleted member 6273]

Practice and algorithmic thinking is more important than fluid intelligence in chess ngl.

 

[rockndogs]

Chess nowadays is recognizing patterns and having genius levels of memory.

If you want true genius in chess, you have something like Bobby Fischer, Paul Morphy, Capablanca, Alekhine. Today is just "MUH LEMME CHECK MY ENGINE"

Chess is not cognitively demanding and draining like STEM/programming IMO. It's harder to develop a new computer algorithm than becoming a chess master.

as long as she is white she is 10psl for horny selfhating ethnics

top-tier chess players recognize chess patterns and can calculate dozens moves ahead. it's repetition
there was a study on beginners and top chess players testing their game calculations. beginners could only think 3-4 moves ahead at most while experts did >20. but once the board pieces were randomized to fit chess960, the beginners calculated three moves ahead and the experts could only muster four.

You're right that chess nowadays is about having good memory. My memory is slightly above average, and my blitz rating on chess.com is around 2300. I cannot play blindfold chess well. NM is achievable for most amateurs, GM is another level of chess. You need to have excellent chess memory and great calculation skills to be a GM. GM is impossible for untalented amateurs like me.

Wasn't Bobby Fischer the same, he spent hours practicing the moves of his opponents and how to counter them. He memorised so much of it, it's basically insane. I remember the build up to Spasky where he had this massive red book containing all the moves he had played. Fischer would just sit alone and practice for hours using it.

To become a GM you have to dedicate a lot of your time studying chess, or being a genius like some players in the past. I don't consider any living player today as a genius. Perhaps kasparov.

He dedicated his life for chess, indeed. He studied a lot, he practiced a lot, but again, he is the best chess player of all time. A rare combination of genius + effort. Other chess players studied as much as him, but didn't get to his level.

 

[Slayer]

If I was to guess, it's probably because chess at the GM level heavily relies on rote memorization of openings and heuristically recognizing positions through repetition. GMs have played thousands upon thousands of games.

This is also why gooks and pajeets are so "good" at things like math and music despite being low IQ zombie bugmen in all other facets of life; they autistically study integration techniques and practice piano every waking hour until the patterns become second nature.

Truly high IQ people are more generalists. They can quickly absorb lots of diverse information and become proficient in many things, but usually don't have time to become top-tier experts in retarded useless shit like chess unless they choose to dedicate more time to it in lieu of other intellectual pursuits. It's why many of the greatest physicists and scientists of the world were also well-spoken philosophers who had ideas about many diverse topics outside of science.

Carlsen is a legend too.

After Kasparov lost the title the world oc chess was in this "first among equals" kind of state until Carlsen came along (No offense to Kramnik and Anand. They are just not as good as Carlsen). And Carlsen was the first to broke Garry Kasparov's chess rating record of 2851.

 

[rockndogs]

Engine era is boring as fuck, that's the reality. If you put Carlsen and Caruana classical chess over the board, 95/100 will be a draw

chess is not a IQ game anymore. You just need to have a great memory. He sais himself (Nakamura)
Take it from a chess player

 

[SchrodingersDick]

Hikaru is no retard. His spatial intelligence must be 99.99th+ percentile. Video is taken down but I saw a short clip of it yesterday.. He just guessed answers in 2 seconds.. didn’t even apply himself. He plays at 2800 ELO, an impossible feat if you suck at pattern recognition. Watch his videos where he calculates lines. One needs insane mental horsepower to look away from the board and visualize all possible positional bifurcations. I fry my brain to calculate precisely 4 or 5 moves ahead, Takes me forever, and I score 135+ on IQ tests

he is a lol tier leftist though. Prob has more to do with the psychological phenomenon of being a public figure/streamer. One has an imperative to do approved, moral rightthink and adopt mainstream positions.

That’s true, but after 10 or 15 moves, the position on the board is not something you could have ever encountered before, so you can’t have the best move memorized. You can memorize principles if they’re taught to you, or you can discover them yourself. Prob have a more promising future playing chess if you’re able to discover them yourself.

 

[SchrodingersDick]

That’s true with any 2 high rated players so close in ELO. Engine or no.
