  Well I don't generally consider chess mastery to be a sign of genius. Or maths, or music either. Fundamentally they are not creative, generative activities. There's a reason they are called a prodigy and not a genius. Of course there are the rare genius composer (eg Mozart) or mathematician (eg Euler).
