    Nice, it's good to see that children also play chess and are taken seriously by adults. At least they try their best against adults haha like this one, though adults probably didn't play very seriously against him because he is just a child, or maybe these adults aren't very competitive chess players. Maybe this little guy will have some future in chess, who knows. I will keep an eye on it.

    Kasparov was actually tested for IQ by a German newspaper Der Spiegel and was around 135; however, he had an incredible spatial intelligence (iq test is the average of all intelligences), which is one of the main things needed in chess. That is why he is so successful. An IQ of 135 is top 1% of the population, which is still quite high, anyway. Im not lying. Search google and you will find the info.

    I think there is different types of IQ. People who have an higher mathematical and logical thinking, like Chess players for example.
    People with extraordinary good memory that can learn alot in school.
    And people with a complex social skill, who know how to talk and treat others. I'm sure this can affect your life.

      According to who exactly? Most of psychology scientists only acknowledge one form of IQ called the Spearman g factor, and it's the only metric with concrete evidence that supports it

      @@RishiMehta Pensé que tenía 11 años, Magnus aparenta menos edad en este video. No es normal que alguien de 11 años hable ese nivel de inglés. En España ningún niño de 11 años tiene ese nivel. Claro, él no tenía 11 sino 15 años, lo cual lo explica todo. Creo que tu barra es la ignorancia, y la tienes bastante por el piso, casi como la pobreza que hay en tu país.
