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.
