    So maybe consider dropping your belief that a person's CP skill is mostly based on IQ.

      Every GM had to be an expert at one point but not every expert can become a GM.

      Also what if he is 140+ IQ?

        I am not saying that everyone can get to a high level. But if having high natural abilities is what determines skill then it makes little sense for there to be a period of over 3 years of little change in rating then a sudden increase without it dipping down again. People who spend years of training solving thousands of problems to reach a high level wouldn't make sense (check out awoo). A vast majority of people are not trying hard enough, have a bad mindset, or have better things to do in life (understandable).

          I have to admit, I'm not exactly sure how long-term training affects skill. It seems like a lot of mind sports have the thing where sometimes people don't improve for years and then they suddenly improve. All I'm saying is that the level of improvement is probably determined by innate abilities (IQ). Like for example, someone with a low IQ might see an improvement of 100 points after many years of practice while someone with a high IQ might see an improvement of 300 points. I just don't see any other reasonable explanation.
