Further, I don't trust your correlation between eduction and likelyhood of attaining chess competency. Evidence?
Originally posted by AgergMy scientific question as to whether there is a correlation between chess players and IQ is not being answered so I am going to abandon the thread in future. Yes, there are many variables but this is a forum and I cannot type them all. Please be helpful, use your common sense and put the information together.

Originally posted by TygertNice thread, Tygert. My daughter, Heidi's IQ Score is similar to yours.
I was asking for what other people's was because I heard that chess players are generally very clever. (two of the top ten highest IQs in the world are held by Garry Kasparov and Judit Polgar)
There is no reason to call me a retard.
Do you know the identities of the other eight of the Top Ten?
