Go up one level in this thread


Gentlemen:

These are great posts.  May I suggest "Genius in Chess" by Jonathan Levitt?  He
posits Levitt's equation: ELO ~ (10xIQ)+1000.  The ~ means that the ELO of the
formula is the upper bound of what can be achieved by an intensely devoted
player after many years of study. So an IQ of 137 goes to an ELO of 2370.  Why
haven't you studied more? Maybe the same reason I haven't?

Cheers,

Walter
