Note only that the claim that "a guy with a 200 IQ can play chess like a moron" is obvious. Even Anand can play chess like a moron so certainly a guy with a 200 IQ that only learned the rules before the game can play like a moron I do not know when Oppenheimer learned the rules of chess and what is his experience when he lost the game so I have no opinion on his talent for chess based on that game.

They can be blindingly >brilliant but no good at chess. Of course I think that if you want to be fair you need to tell us what is their experience in chess. Chess is a game when people with no experience have no chance. I believe that every brilliant person can become a master if he decides that it is important for him. It probably was never important for them to be good in chess. I have no special talent for chess(I even cannot play blindfold) but I got the title of candidate master few days ago(Israeli rating above 2070 when Isreli rating is equivalent to fide rating). I believe that I can get the master title in less than 5 years if I decide that it is important for me and leave everything else that I do only to learn chess but of course it is not going to happen. If you take 100 random people from the world population and encourage them to get fide rating of 2300 by a lot of money then I guess that at least 50 of them will become masters in less than 10 years. Prizes can be as follow(it is important to have significant prizes also for low rating to encourage players who believe that they have no chance to become masters) 1)Rating above 1400 20,000$ 2)Rating above 1500 50,000$ 3)rating above 1600 100,000$ 4)rating above 1700 150,000$ 5)rating above 1800 200,000$ 6)rating above 1900 250,000$ 7)fide rating above 2000 300,000$ 8)fide rating above 2100 400,000$ 9)fide rating above 2200 600,000$ 10)fide rating above 2300 1000,000$ Uri
