Lots of different types of intelligence of course but am I imagining that Tate was a precocious chest talent when he was 7 or 8 years old? I know his Dad was a fairly notable player.
It's one of the claims he makes but don't think anyone has managed to verify it. Like you say his dad was an international master and Tate's chess ranking is very strong club player but sub pro, still talking upper decile of all players so not to shabby
