Watch C4 now - shortly is an 8 year old (or close) who is tipped to be the next British Champion.
IQ of 170 or something.
Could be interesting. Which would be a first for me in any forum

To be really good at chess requires a high (or at least above average)IQ, but to have a high IQ does not mean you will be really good at chess.
The American physicist Robert Oppenheimer was a genius plus, had a lifelong interest in the game, and started playing at a young age. Sadly, he totally suuuuuuuuuucked, was like a 1200 player. He has a couple of games that can be found on the net, one against Guyala Breyer when he was a teenager, the other against ALBERT EINSTEIN at a Princeton University chess tournament. Einstein crushed him like peanuts. The game is embarrassing, Oppie played like a fish.
