Stay mentally fit by playing chess!

There is a retired federal judge in Chicago who is a family friend and he still plays chess at the age of about 98.  He's amazing.  In 1972 he was a local game analyst on Channel 11's coverage of the Fischer/Spassky World Championship match.  I think playing chess is his secret to having a really sharp mind after all these years.

That's some good news to hear ! There is a Chess player that recently became a Grand master after a strong showing at the International Senior Open. The player is in his sixties and has been involved with chess probably before Fisher became nationally known.
