It's just a hot take... but it has some truth to it... you can probably squeeze out 100 points or something.

But yeah, I don't know if people realize... for example Carlsen was over 2700 at age 16. He's in his 30s now. How much has he improved since then? Relatively speaking, not much.

No one makes any meaningful improvement after about 8 years of playing.

Started at 8 years old? You have until you're 16 kid, then you're stuck forever. Good luck.

Bad news for @Lightning... No wonder why he's thinking of quitting chess.

Hot take: Military stratagems and financial fiscal plans do not have enough similarities with chess to merit being a chess player as a valid part of your resume.
