IQ and Chess Strength

So assuming that I have a dead even average IQ of 100, I could expect to attain roughly a 2200 ELO rating in Chess with dedicated training. This sounds about right, as I have read in many places, and from many authors, that this level is attaintable with hard work and practice alone and requires, "no special, predisposed chess intelligence".
