      AB: Thirty-three tournament-level young Belgian chess players aged 8 
          to 13 were tested with the French WISC (Wechsler Intelligence 
          Scale for Children) The mean full scale IQ = 121, verbal IQ = 109 
          and performance IQ = 129. The results suggest that a high level 
          of general intelligence and of spatial ability are necessary to 
          achieve a high standard of play in chess. The high spatial 
          ability of these young chess players suggested by the high 
          performance IQs may go some way towards explaining why males tend 
          to be more numerous than females among high-standard chess 
          players.
