Prime time for chess is the same as other physically demanding sports

In previous time,  people have perception that chess need extreme experience. The perception was more augmented by picture of Chessmaster series showing a picture of 60+ man. If experience is the key, best chess players in the world would be in their 40s, 50s.

In these days , I noticed that world top players are usually GM in their teenage, and their best times are in their 20's. It is the same as physically demanding games like soccer, their popularity start in their teenage, and after 30's their days are pretty over!!
