He started to show interest in chess at a very young age, and by the age of 22, he defeated then-champion Anatoly Karpov to become the <\/span><b>youngest undisputed World Chess Champion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a teenager, he entered and won many chess tournaments, and he even qualified for the Soviet Chess Championship when he was just 15 years old, making him the youngest player to enter the championship at that level.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He rose quickly through the ranks by winning high-class tournaments, and in 1980 he qualified as a grandmaster.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although he\u2019s known as the world\u2019s <\/span><b>greatest chess player of all time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was included on the list of the top <a href=\"https:\/\/superscholar.org\/smartest-people-alive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">30 smartest people in the world today<\/a> by Super Scholar<\/span>, he decided to retire from chess in 2005 to become a writer and political activist.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is now chairman of the Human Rights Foundation, lives in New York City, and travels around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-garry-kasparov-s-iq\">What is Garry Kasparov\u2019s IQ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The score of Garry Kasparov\u2019s IQ was 135. <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although many sources estimate his IQ to have been between 180-190, he actually scored 135 on an IQ test he did in 1987-88. This was according to a series of tests designed to test his memory, abstract reasoning, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/spatial-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spatial intelligence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to Garry Kasparov\u2019s IQ, it\u2019s clear he was a very gifted man, but he doesn\u2019t hold the record for the highest IQ to date.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-garry-kasparov-vs-the-machines\">Garry Kasparov vs. the machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1985, Garry had the chance to compete against 32 of the world\u2019s best chess machines. <\/span><b>He won all 32 games<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just 12 years later, he explains in his<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NP8xt8o4_5Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TED talk video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that he was fighting with everything he had against just one of those 32 computers. Eventually, he lost the match against the IBM supercomputer, Deep Blue. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although, as he says in his book<\/span> &#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deep Thinking,&#8221; he was a bit of a sore loser, he decided that it was time to get on with things and move forward. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kasparov-envisions-a-future-with-artificial-intelligence\">Kasparov envisions a future with artificial intelligence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kasparov says he doesn\u2019t fear intelligent machines. So if we were to ask him today: <em>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/is-ai-dangerous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Is AI dangerous?<\/a>&#8220;<\/em>, he might reply he envisions a world where we use machines to turn our dreams into reality.

In March 2018, he passed at the age of 76. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Super Scholar\u2019s list also includes names like Edward Witten, Andrew Wiles, Ruth Lawrence, and many more. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The list also mentions Judit Polgar, also known as <\/span><b>the Queen of Chess<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, after her remarkable wins against some of the greatest former and current chess champions, including Kasparov himself, who lost to her in 42 moves.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-was-william-james-sidis-iq\">What was William James Sidis&#8217; IQ?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can\u2019t talk about the smartest people in the world and neglect to mention William James Sidis. To this day, he is considered by many to be the smartest man to ever live. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to some estimates, his IQ score was actually around 50 points higher than that of Albert Einstein.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was born in Boston in 1898 and was a <\/span><b>brilliant child prodigy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He started reading at the age of <\/span>two<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and had already learned multiple foreign languages by the age of 6. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Sidis was 11, he entered Harvard and became the youngest student to ever enroll in the university.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What made him really stand out was the fact that compared to other child prodigies, he was gifted with many different abilities: he was a gifted writer, poet, and polyglot, having learned eight languages by the age of 6, and created his own language known as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vendergood.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-unleash-your-limitless\">Unleash your limitless<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a high IQ is an interesting trait to have, but <\/span><b>it\u2019s no guarantee of success<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And we should also keep in mind that IQ tests only measure a very narrow set of cognitive traits and abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is intelligence, anyway?
