Discussion Does Chess Really Increase IQ? (1 Viewer)

[Perfectionist]

A common misconception in people is that, they believe playing chess, practicing it actually increases iq. However, is that the case?

Without a doubt, chess is a great practice to develop your problem solving skills as you have to think deeply for your opponents next move. Similarly, critical thinking is improved as well.

To answer the question, chess skills cannot be implied in other areas of life since Gobet and Campitelli (2006) found that while chess players excel in chess-related tasks, their performance in non-chess-related tasks did not significantly differ from non-players, and that the benefits decline over time unless regular practice is maintained.


Nevertheless, share your opinion

Iq only changes in development yes, you cannot stimulate its growth. Proper development is all you need to get your full potential.

We're regressing because the weak and dumb are being catered towards, and allowed to breed. It was never like this pre-industrialisation.

It does not increase IQ. Chess is 99% memorising moves, plus some pattern recognition. These skills are very narrow and do not represent the wide range of sub-skills contained within IQ.
