Maybe not beer, but there sure is a correlation with the amount of coffee.
Seriously though..not with as many cheaters as there is you can be put in the hole quickly and kept there by continuous cheating...my problem now..I'm 15 something and should be 27 something....lots of other players have the the same problem...we are playing games that would have been 18 something games a few years ago ..I know ..I've been playing on lichess for 9 straight years and have played almost 50 000 games and been rated 17 and 18 something
A higher chess rating might suggest certain cognitive strengths, but it's not a definitive measure of overall intelligence. Many factors contribute to success in chess, and intelligence is just one piece of the puzzle.
However, expressing my thoughts on this topic in an online forum resulted in an instant decrease in my perceived intelligence.....
If you think test scores, say something like SAT scores, are a good measure of intelligence, then this would be relatively easy to study with a regression analysis. You'd just need a few hundred lichess players who would give their scores.
only as far as combining, memory, strategic planning within a given frame are concerned.
