... because of implied logical ability. But it is not enough. I've met some very talented mathematicians but poor chessplayers. There has to be present: 1. interest for chess and 2. psihological stability needed for successfull play.

Robotic "Monster Chess" set uses 100000 LEGO pieces — The idea is simple — a chess game where you can play against the computer. But the implementation here is what's truly monster about it. Each chess piece is its own autonomous robot, and there are actually a couple of 'spares' (as well as NXT blocks built into the King & Queen), so that ends up with 38 separate NXTs that must be controlled, commanded, and communicated with. Ron McRae did the bulk of the software work on the PC end for this, and it really works well. The chess board has squares based on the large LEGO baseplates, making the entire assembly roughly 12' on a side. On top of that is a way to input the humans moves, and a laptop running chess software and helping ...

This is indirect to the theme of the post, however intelligence can also be an advantage. Please note that this is only a suggestion based on articles ive read. There is an equation which i read in a book, which apparantly can predict a persons rating after seriuos study and years of tournament play. Again its based on a persons IQ, and there are always exceptions.
Your IQ x 10 + 1000 = Your likely rating after seriuos study and tournament play.
Of course this is only a prediction, and an IQ, is only a number. And i Believe that a persons intelligence, cannot be defined by a number.

The Catalan Chess Opening part 4: how should white tackle a strong centre? — Continuing our brief survey of the fashionable Catalan Chess Opening: instead of capturing on c4, Black holds firm in the centre. How should White develop? RB Staring reproachfully at me from my desk is a newly bought but unopened copy of Play the Catalan by Nigel Davies (Everyman Chess). I haven't had the time to make even a start and am still as innocent of the theory as I was when we began this series of columns. I've resisted the temptation to cheat by looking to see what Davies recommends and am going to go on general principles: what looks like the most useful developing move? Two possibilities suggest themselves: Qc2 and Nc3. So which one? Over the chess board I'd probably ...

Play online chess | IQ, math, and literature
Message:
I have to question any article that suggests a correlation between chess rating and IQ. Kasparov would have to have an IQ of over 180. Furthermore, the average person has an IQ of 100, making him potentially an expert.
Chess is conversation of ideas within a math base. The better players concentrate on the ideas and the conversation. Sufficiency in math is essential, but mastery of language arts is the key to mastery of chess.

Former Chess Champions Find Success Beyond the Board — They took the road more traveled, and each is happy that he did. Patrick Wolff, Michael Wilder and Stuart Rachels are former United States chess champions who walked away from the game years ago to lead more traditional lives. Wilder, 47, a chess grandmaster, won the title in 1988. By the following fall, he was in law school at the University of Michigan, and done with chess. “I just didn’t have the energy or the motivation to keep my skills fresh,” he said in an interview this month. Now a partner at McDermott Will & Emery in Washington, he specializes in corporate tax issues. He said he had not played a tournament game in more than 15 years. “I never gave serious consideration to being a professional chess player,” Wilder ...

Carlsen Back in Action — After a break of several months (during which he went to New York to do some fundraising for the presidential campaign of Anatoly Karpov), Magnus Carlsen, the 19-year-old Norwegian who is ranked No. 1 in the world, returns to action beginning Monday in the Kings Tournament. This will be the fourth edition of the chess competition, which is in Bazna, Romania, in the heart of Transylvania. The town is best known as a spa, resort, so presumably the chess competitors will be well treated. In addition to Carlsen, the other competitors are Wang Yue of China, Boris Gelfand of Israel, Teimour Radjabov of Azerbaijan, Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu of Romania, and Ruslan Ponomariov of Ukraine. Ponomariov ...

After the wonderful saying of zdrak I think it is better thrown away our books and degrees and run to a non-chess education. :O)))
