Or was that a troll post and that rule dosent exist?
I'm starting chess at 50 years old and just learned the moves can I still be world champ???
Sort:
Can SOMONE explain to me why FDE wouldn't let someone who started at 50 get above 2700? Like, what age to you have to do your first tournament at to get above that level, and why does that rules exist?

No. In order to become an elite player you need to start rigorous training from the moment you are born. Preferably you will need to have the chess pieces surgically implanted inside the womb to get a head start.
You too are trolling Magnus started much later . Maybe it works to start as late as the age of ten. seven years old definitively is early enough
What if I had stockfish surgically implanted in my brain could I be champion then???1?1???111

Its simply too much work to improve to that level, and too much work that has to be done when the brain is fresh enough. Humans have a tendency to slow down learning as we grow older.

No. That is cheating. You will be trown out of the tournament.
Yeah yeah, I know it is (nigh) impossible, perhaps even completely impossible, to become WC at age 50+, heck, even at age 10+, but why would FDE not allow certain age groups to reach levels if they are capable because of their age...? Not that a 50+ would ever become a 2700 that is...
I could EASILY beat most grand masters. All I need is a in-ear radi- I mean, a hearing aid. It's a hearing aid, as I can't hear. Not anything else. Promise.

Of course, but you need to rely on the rest of the world's population being unfortunately wiped out in a plague.
What if I study for 20 hours a day can I do it then???
You might be world champion of the age range 80-110 if you work hard! Lol

Well, let me answer this question in 12 or 24 months. If you broke 2300 ELO FIDE instantly I still would not bet my money on you - but it might show some serious and, at least, some talent.
If you lack both, the chances of ending up as a troll in some forum could be eventually higher - at least you come up as a kind of "Eddy the Eagle" in a C-players-category...
NOT COOL DUDE. NOT COOL. 4-1 NOT COOL.

"... Many aspiring young chess players dream of one day becoming a grandmaster and a professional. ... But ... a profession must bring in at least a certain regular income even if one is not too demanding. ... The usual prize money in Open tournaments is meagre. ... The higher the prizes, the greater the competition. ... With a possibly not very high and irregular income for several decades the amount of money one can save for old age remains really modest. ... Anyone who wants to reach his maximum must concentrate totally on chess. That involves important compromises with or giving up on his education. ... it is a question of personal life planning and when deciding it is necessary to be fully conscious of the various possibilities, limitations and risks. ... a future professional must really love chess and ... be prepared to work very hard for it. ... It is all too frequent that a wrong evaluation is made of what a talented player can achieve. ... Most players have the potential for a certain level; once they have reached it they can only make further progress with a great effort. ... anyone who is unlikely to attain a high playing strength should on no account turn professional. ... Anyone who does not meet these top criteria can only try to earn his living with public appearances, chess publishing or activity as a trainer. But there is a lack of offers and these are not particularly well paid. For jobs which involve appearing in public, moreover, certain non-chess qualities are required. ... a relevant 'stage presence' and required sociability. ... All these jobs and existences, moreover, have hanging above them the sword of Damocles of general economic conditions. ... around [age] 40 chess players ... find that their performances are noticeably tailing off. ..." - from a 12 page chapter on becoming a chess professional in the book, Luther's Chess Reformation by GM Thomas Luther (2016)

Probably not, but there are senior tournaments. I'm 59, and my rating has climbed, but I've put a lot of work into it. I'm assuming champions study the game. I've seen a picture of Bobby Fischer with a chess book and a chess board, so he certainly studied the game.
maybe
just saying
There is a possibility. I am talking about magic. Maybe mix yourself an youth elixir. But it might not work, because the youth elixir can become banned and put on a dopinglist.
