Yeah but who said that doing drugs would impede his chess progress?
Can i improve faster than a 35 year old?
seriously. Yes given equal quality of training , intelligence, ability etc.
adults better results are usually due to discipline but the ability of the younger mind to absorb material will gain ground faster in the long run.
Its just a fact based on brain research.
It is very interesting to me that it seems we have reached a lower limit of GM strength around 12 years + a few months. 2200 is around 8 at the bottom level. Considering these as statistical extremes It makes me wonder what developmental issues go on around these ages to create players of this strength.
Im 14,and u was just wondering can children improve faster than the adults?Look at this: If a 14 year old rated 1400 and a 35 year old rated 1400 start studying chess from the same schedule,same amount of hours per day.If they were fully dedicated spending no less than 3 hours each day,styding tactics most of the time what would their rating be?
Now:14 year old (1400)-in two years (?)
Now:35 year old (1400)-in two years (?)
