Thanks to everyone who replied. There is a paper that outlines the difference 
between Chess and Go.

  Are there any places on the internet where methods and techniques for 
improving intelligence are discussed. I tried many search queries, but I was 
unable to find too many. Also, from my understanding the deeper a game is the 
more beneficial it is to challenging the brain.

  The problem is: how do you check? You'd need twins and have one of them play 
Go or Chess.  

  I even don't know if the intelligence of twins is the same from the start. 
When at university there were two identical twins in the same year. With 
identical I mean, really identical. They were inseparable, always wore the same 
clothes and hardly socialised. Still, one of them consistently got half a grade 
less than the other.
  

  I think the question of intelligence (which as noted by others is not the 
same as IQ) being determined by nature or nurture is still unanswered. The 
answer is probably somewhere in between, but it's not clear where and what 
determines it.

    This is a bit off topic, but I am wondering if a person can play Go to 
increase their IQ or improve their intelligence. Also, are there any other 
games or methods that one can use to improve their IQ. From what I have read 
Kasparov's IQ is around 135 so playing Chess doesn't really increase a person's 
IQ.
