it says to me. it's not written as 'chess is a motor skill' though.

i'm not going to name names, but there seem to be a few of these about here at GF. what's the story here? a lot of people think that ability at chess is an indicator of intelligence, but the evidence suggests otherwise. i'd like to advance a theory, which i think is quite elegant in its simplicity and explanatory power. it is simply this:

in the application of sound chess principles, raw intuitive sense and retention of contiguous patterns,
conceptual grasp of things abstract and spatial or stream of events recognition play a significant role?
