Is chess for old people.

Is chess for old people?

Most definitely.

Viktor Korchnoi would have answered yes, as he won a national championship at 80 years of age.

Also he was a top 100 in the world player when he was 75.

Absolutely lol

Im 12 lol

thanks for the feedback!! 

It's mostly for 2 types... little kids (which you see everywhere here) and retirees (which are also here, but aren't as noisy).

If chess isn't for an age group it's the people in between.

I don't think so

It's not really for any specific age group, people of all ages play

What do you mean by "old" I suppose?

This kind of forum threads makes me feel old 

Of course yes. On the other hand top performance is for gifted youth only but do you actually care? Enjoyment is your top priority, also everyone can set sensible goals for himself/herself at any age.

Well Im 58 and my fascination with chess is long gone.

Only your fascination for forum posting remains.

Thats withering too...

You should always practice you hobbies in a way such that you want to do them again.

I could think up some pretty... let's say controversial hobbies that'd make you rethink that.
