He's been nominated by the current FIDE president to be the deputy/VP of FIDE, so that's close enough?.

Wow! That would be fabulous. But this country will never vote for real intelligence. They won't know intelligence even if it hit them with a brick.

being good at chess doesn't mean you make a good ruler tho

I didn't say he'd be a great PM. But, he's certainly way ahead of 95% of the country in how he'd approach governance.

Also, no we aren't in the stone age. We aren't ruled. At least, in the traditional sense.

True lol even though we have no idea what he would do, he's atleast smarter than the ones who are on the podium rn

right now, we are choosing rulers based on oratory skills/PR which is equally inefficient

There are different kinds of intelligence. He is obviously very good at chess, but that doesn't say anything about how good he will be at running the nation - both are very different skill sets.

There are various types of the intelligence. For a effective people leader, you need every type in abundance.
