Let me rephrase. If 2 people with exactly the same training and experience in chess play against eachother. One of them wins constantly, could that serve as an indicator that the constant winner is a smarter person?

Yes, it would mean that the person has a greater spatial intelligence. They can see more of the board and can see more moves ahead than their opponent. There are 7 other intelligences (athletic, logical, artistic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, visual, and naturalistic), so it is very likely a person could have outstanding spatial intelligence yet be lacking in another area.

No. It would indicate your skill at chess. Someone who plays chess may not be so good at something like the Rubek's Cube. Even though both are considered "thinking games". People learn through experience. If you've never experienced chess, then how do you know you're good at it? Lets say there's a surgeon who has never played chess. Would he/she be good at it? No. Because you have to learn over time how to play the game and what strategies are best.

no, it indicates ur strength in logic and how well u play the game. if some very logical played against someone who is very smart but who is better at, lets say, reading and writing, the logical person would win. someone who just learned how to play but is really smart played vs. a long time medium intelligence player, the latter would win.

It would certainly show how smart you are at chess. Because there is no absolute criteria for intelligence or competence, it would just show that in a chess game one individual will probably beat another individual.

I don't think so.. coz i knew some very good chess players and they were acting dumb in some other life situations. i guess its how you define intelligence, but anyway, intelligence is how you gather all the data, process them well, and make useful conclusions based on severl what ifs..its something like that.

I would think so, if they both have the same training and experience, then the one who wins all the time would be able to better calculate odds, have a better memory etc.

Not really; It would measure your level of chess skill, which is effected by both your intellect, knowledge of the game and practice.

Only how smart you are at calculating and planning future moves. It would only "rate" a small piece of "smarts"
