IN fact, a guy with a 500 IQ (were such a thing possible) could probably play chess like a guy with a 100 IQ...on his first game. I say this because intelligence, broadly conceived, is the capacity to acquire knowledge in any particular domain. Intelligence is concerned with rates. Accordingly, you could be the most intelligent person in the world, but with no experience, you'll lose. But you'll probably learn the game faster than anybody. Roger
