Is chess for intelligent people?
You don't have to be of significantly high intelligence to "play" chess but obviously, if you're looking to advance into the 2200+ club, possessing less than a 120 IQ would probably begin to pose you serious, serious challenges. A lot of these GM's are floating in the 130-160 range, like that or not.

Is trading pieces in chess good?
When you have a material advantage, trading pieces often favors the stronger side. For example, having an extra pawn in an endgame is usually better than in the middlegame, when there are lots of pieces left, and anything can happen. Note: this rule is not universal, and mainly applies to pieces, not pawns.

Is level 900 chess good?
I think it's a normal rating for someone who hasn't studied. And studying tactics is far more helpful at our level than reading prose (after you've read at least an introductory book on chess). I agree with the above posters; you won't really learn anything substantial from just playing blitz.

Advantages of playing bullet
Well, if you're a Grandmaster and preparing for an online blitz championship, playing bullet can be a good exercise. Many would say you improve your tactics and other things… Maybe you improve… A little.
