Numerous studies have attempted to investigate the factors affecting superior intellectual performance, and it has been proposed that a possible biological marker for superior intellectual performance is the month of birth. In this study, birth details of chess players were obtained from the official international chess federation website. The rating lists of top junior female chess players ("Girls" category), top junior male chess players ("Boys"), top female chess players ("Female"), and top male chess players ("Male") were collected between July 2000 and August 2015. The birth months of each player that appeared in the top rating list were categorized into quarters. Additionally, relative age of chess players was calculated. Results supported the existence of the relative age effect in chess in all categories although a "reverse" RAE was found in the "Male" category.
许多研究试图探究影响卓越智力表现的因素，并且有人提出卓越智力表现的一个可能的生物学标志是出生月份。在本研究中，国际象棋棋手的出生细节是从国际棋联官方网站获取的。2000年7月至2015年8月期间收集了顶尖青少年女子国际象棋棋手（“女子组”）、顶尖青少年男子国际象棋棋手（“男子组”）、顶尖女子国际象棋棋手（“女子”）和顶尖男子国际象棋棋手（“男子”）的等级分排名表。将出现在顶级排名表中的每位棋手的出生月份分为四个季度。此外，还计算了国际象棋棋手的相对年龄。结果支持了所有类别中象棋存在相对年龄效应，尽管在“男子”类别中发现了“反向”相对年龄效应。
