Most people start chess when they are kids like Bobby fischer, Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov. But some chess players like some of my friends started at like 20 and 40! I was a early starter myself. Do u think it is likely to start playing chess younger or older? When did u start playing?

 

 

 

I started playing when i was 5 but i have started trying to be a grandmaster for a little while now

I started very early (6 or 7) and am living proof that, while all prodigies are early starters, not all early starters are prodigies. I intend at a later date to become the first geriatric prodigy.

I started when I was 13.

i feel like i am restarting every day :(

I myself started early at around 6 or 7 years. I've only actually been doing something to improve (studying openings etc.) for the past few years, and only then started improving alot and went from 1850 to 2200 over the board. I'm still going up and I hope to get at least 2300 (FM) in a few years.
