can you give an example of someone who became a GM after starting chess after 50 years of age? (this doesnt mean 50year old gms it means people who started chess at this age)

I would say around age 70 it will be a blowout by then cause that's when humans brains starts turning into a pile of sloppy gunk

Practically it's too late to become a gm in twenties when you already have to earn money and especially support your family, so you get a job and leave serious ambitions in chess

Agree, you should start as early as possible. Get a GM title before 18.

Impossible for any human being to be GM at any age. To be GM player must achieve rating of 1400 at least. Who can achieve this with human brain? No one.
