I’ve seen too many brain-dead streamers become decent at chess for me to ever believe it’s a measure of wit, lol. At best, it’s a measure of memory and mechanical thinking speed, which don’t get me wrong are part of what we consider “intelligence” but it’s pointless by itself, and no more important nor a better measure of intelligence than being good at StarCraft IMO.
