Oh yeah I heard of them GMs.
GM Non and GM Existent were really good GMs.
Enrico Paoli was awarded the Grandmaster title by FIDE in 1996, at the age of 88. The title was awarded based on his past achievements, though.
The oldest person to be awarded the FIDE Grandmaster title based on their current tournament results was Yuri Shabanov, who was awarded the GM title in 2003 at the age of 66.

You don't need to improve past FM for it to be called "improvement"

hi guys,
i am 37 years old, i am playing chess over 22 years but not seriously, in 2023 summer , i decided to take chess seriously,i applied licance and participated 12 tournements until now, 2 of them were elo tournements, rest is national rating ukd, like uscf of turkey, my starting fide elo after 2 tournements 1738, my chess com rapid is 2140 around right now, my lichess rapid is 2260 around, my question is am i underrated, and should continue fide tournements, to reach above 2000 fide classical, or am i quite old and it is not a realistic goal?
thanks, my best regards
37 isn't old at this point. Cognitive ability doesn't even start to decline until well into your 60s.
37 is about midway through life. It's not exactly young.

True, but that would leave 30 yrs minimum of chess play, perhaps even more in a healthy adult. I think we will see a bigger pool of older GM level players in the future.

Nobody has provided any examples of people who started playing as adults who became GMs yet...
