Playing chess makes you smarter at playing chess.

that's cold. Yeah i guess it does fly up when you start playing consistently and a lot of the other stuff only starts happening when you've played longer term

Chess is really a magical game it makes you open minded, able to memorize more, have more attention and willpower, more critical thinking, increases self awareness and boosts planning skills my average iq at start of 2023 when chess was introduced to me was 127 before playing chess and now after playing for a long time and reaching 1800 my iq is around 134 and highest score i got was 138 when i was in a perfect mental state

Most noticable stuff for me was at memory attention and I became more skeptical

Who the heck takes multiple professional IQ tests? These things cost up to Hundreds of Dollars per Test and take 4 hours to do at max concentration and also usually about a Year to schedule... The fact that you are talking about them like with high scores makes me theorize that you don't actually take real IQ tests but some Internet fake stuff. Just so you know. If it's anywhere on the Internet it's entirely fake. That being said even if you do take multiple real ones (for whatever weird reason) it can fluctuate quite a bit. It's normal that your IQ changes. To make out a correlation with Chess based on that, disregarding every thing else in your Life + your Mental development (as you are likely young I imagine) is quite useless. Difference between Correlation and Causality. You cannot just assume it's chess cuz you want to.

Great video! Well done!

Cheers mate :)

In my Opinion it doesn't, I know it might improve some of your iq and intelligence but not so much cause after a time you start to study the game and just memorize the game and techniques and in that phase it no longer challanges your brain it becomes much easier for you. So just mastering and memorizing a game doesn't Specially increase your intelligence in a highly number. What chess does other sports does too chess is not different or extra benefiting from other sports. For example football also recquires hardwork, dedication, clear thinking, focus mental tactics, the ability to hold pressure, makes your nerves stronger etc.

Yeah sauce I think you're right in saying that the memorisation is taking over, that's what some of the top players are even saying banging on about the game isn't what it used to be- game's gone. That being said I do think it's telling that if you can utilise that time when someone is new to the game like they did when the students did from the study, then they haven't got to the stage when they're memorising everything but still trying to solve it all

​@@LewisSeal Well even "solving" is almost exclusively pattern recognition. It makes no difference as far as I am aware if you have specifically memorized the Move or memorized the concept by seeing it a hundred times. And there is no move possible in chess which you wouldn't find after having seen the concept a hundred times. So where is the Open space to get Intelligence into this? I don't see it.

The goat is back

Crease. It does feel like that most of the time, especially when you go on a hefty losing streak

@@LewisSeal yes, of course, it is very important that we treat chess only and only as a hobby and not to spend too much valuable time on it. Reaching an IM or GM level is neither possible nor justifiable as most GMs struggle to make enough money from chess to buy bread! Of course, if we are in the top 50 chess players in the world we can win enough prizes from tournaments to survive but reaching top 50 is impossible unless we start chess from the age of 5 and practice hours everyday with regular good coaching and enough number of regular tournaments!
