And me, with my little brain just understand the arrow was like a pawn moving and the long line was like a bishop (or maybe rook, but the bishop came to my mind)... Because Hikaru must think about chess everytime and I think this picture was about that. We don't care about where the stairs are, that was not the idea here lol But i'm probably wrong because I have a little little brain.... And yes, always funny to get on a chess channel and see everyone talking about brain and smart shit everytime... God!

Hikaru is good at chess but his IQ is 102. Lots of hard work to be peak #2 in the world.

[@jaysrandomvideos9483]

He tends to overthink. Works on chess, but when you overthink memes it becomes not funny. 😂😂😂

[@iJuulia]

i think because of chess he analyses every single thing and overthinks a lot

[@ggeorge02]

​@@traplover6357 If you believe his IQ is 102 when the average IQ is 100, you are insane. Carlsen has an estimated IQ of 180-190, which is about one in a hundred million people. Hikaru's memory and ability to recall things is so astounding and you are telling me that he is an average person based on an online quiz. Think of people you know and take half of them, do you think all of them can become super grandmasters with enough time? I know that IQ fails to measure a person's true ability since everyone is unique in a way, but it does a good job of showing how good you are at logical thinking, finding patterns, overall ability to remember etc. Please do not spread misinformation, Hikaru is not just a GM, he is a super GM, one of the best in the world. I believe he is a genius (140+ IQ, 1 in 160) but I do not know how IQ is measured myself, so if he does poorly in other areas then he may be below genius, but most definitely more than 102 points.

[@Julian-pq4lw]

I think people often over sell the IQ's of super GMs but 102 is ridiculous and so is 190 btw. But ofcourse they are well above the average, people just underestimated what having an IQ of 190 really means.

What's so crazy is that you can actually see how his brain works and why he's so good at chess by the way he reacts to memes. We know that the reason he always looks at the ceiling is because he's recalling previous games, but now we can see how his first instinct is to recall the location of something, showing his excellent memory.
