Fun fact: Chess ability only correlates with IQ by about 0.35 (35%).

35% isn't bad, I would imagine the other portion is to do with things like practice (experience) and knowledge of the rules.
Whereas mathematics is something along the lines of 85% correlated with IQ (pretty sure this is from the WAIS-R manual).

Didn't know that, how much do you think mathematical ability correlates?

True, I think chess960 would be a better measure of skill than standard chess, as it relies less on pattern recognition and more on raw skill.

IIRC: 85% with the WAIS-R, which is one of the most used IQ tests.

Algorithmic thinking is better suited for a pc imo.

So, if:
>It is currently in its fourth edition (WAIS-IV) released in 2008 by Pearson, and is the most widely used IQ test, for both adults and older adolescents, in the world.
And, if:
>Psychometricians generally regard IQ tests as having high statistical reliability.[9][56] A high reliability implies that – although test-takers may have varying scores when taking the same test on differing occasions, and although they may have varying scores when taking different IQ tests at the same age – the scores generally agree with one another and across time. Like all statistical quantities, any particular estimate of IQ has an associated standard error that measures uncertainty about the estimate. For modern tests, the standard error of measurement is about three points[citation needed]. Clinical psychologists generally regard IQ scores as having sufficient statistical validity for many clinical purposes.[22][57][58] In a survey of 661 randomly sampled psychologists and educational researchers, published in 1988, Mark Snyderman and Stanley Rothman reported a general consensus supporting the validity of IQ testing. "On the whole, scholars with any expertise in the area of intelligence and intelligence testing (defined very broadly) share a common view of the most important components of intelligence, and are convinced that it can be measured with some degree of accuracy." Almost all respondents picked out abstract reasoning, ability to solve problems and ability to acquire knowledge as the most important elements.[59]
Then, it follows that WAIS-R is perfectly acceptable, and you're just a contrarian.

I agree with the sentiment, but the terminology is wrong.
