The keys to overcoming your struggles are called practice and experience. While there exists a correlation between chess skill and IQ, it’s rather negligible regarding your or any individual’s learning outcome e.g. basics, achieving a certain elo. Most chess players aren’t smart because that makes them good. Most skilled players are smart because they’re more interested in this game (or more generally speaking, in cognitive domains)

I know this is really trivial, but why don't your socks match?
