The smartest guy I know personally is a prior west point professor. He can hold a great deal of information at one time in his memory to use. It's like he has more RAM memory than anyone else I've ever met. Playing chess against him is rough and I'm not nothing at chess, being rated (at one time) at 1800.

A higher capacity working memory is correlated with IQ, but chess skills are not (chess grandmasters have average IQ).
