>At age 10, Hikaru became the youngest American to beat an International Master when he defeated Jay Bonin at the Marshall Chess Club. Also at age 10, Nakamura became the youngest player to achieve the title of chess master from the United States Chess Federation, breaking the record previously set by Vinay Bhat (Nakamura's record stood until 2008 when Nicholas Nip achieved the master title at the age of 9 years and 11 months). In 1999, Nakamura won the Laura Aspis Prize, given annually to the top USCF-rated player under age 13. In 2003, at age 15 years and 79 days, Nakamura solidified his reputation as a chess prodigy, becoming the youngest American to earn the grandmaster title at the time, breaking the record of Bobby Fischer by three months.

>In 2020, Hikaru undertook the Mensa online IQ tests, in which he scored 102. Considering that average IQ is 100, Nakamura seems to have only slightly passed the average person’s IQ.

LOL. So you're telling me, a kid who became a tilted chess master, at 10, and became a chess grandmaster at 15, isn't actually intelligent. He's actually only average? What the fuck? How does this make sense?

>B-B-B-BUT IQ tests don't measure intelligence!!!

So then you admit they're literally fucking meaningless?

Can someone defend this shit?
