Another interesting question is how well chess-playing ability correlates with IQ.
being smart means dick. hard work beats smart every time. and getting better at chess is nothing but hard, persistent work. you can't 'reason' yourself out of dropping pieces, painstaking training and repetition is the only way. we all know that deciding to stop blundering has little or no effect. the only way is work, work and more work.
