The older you be, the harder it will be for you to improve, not just being GM, but a titled or strong player.
Janis Klovans became a GM at age 62. I guess you should definitely make your big push before that age.

I think children have a lot of free time on their hands, so they can devote more time to chess if they want to, while most adults are busy with other things besides chess. Some players get better as they get older, for instance, Korchnoi, so I think it is possible for adults to improve at chess provided they train hard and effectively.

In psychology, they talk about self-fulfilling prophecies. If you believe you have reached your limit in terms of rating, you will probably find it hard to improve beyond that. Kasparov talks about the importance of self-confidence and optimism in playing well.
John Nunn makes a related point that most players don't get anywhere near what their limit is.

That's not very nice, making this thread as a trick. You should be ashamed of yourself

I think Kasparov is talking about your attitude towards your games, not your "will." GM Jonathan Rowson and GM Alex Yermolinsky are two other writers who have been writing a lot about the role of emotion in how well you play. GM Matthew Sadler came out with a book lately called Chess for Life where he talks about how to maintain your skill even as you get older, and GM Nigel Davies has a video on how to beat younger players.

It is not about a determined attitude -which could help as little factor- it is about the skills of one person and where is his/her limits. Karpov went from WCC to 2600+; Boris V. Spassky, the same: from WCC to 2500+. Every chess player has a peak rating and every player will, little by little, suffer the drop of points: it's a natural law, and no one can avoid it.
Smyslov played in the Candidates final when he was 62. Korchnoi didn't peak until he was 50. Spassky contested his first Candidates tournament in 1956, but he was still in the Candidates in 1985 almost three decades later. Kramnik, Topalov and Anand are all in their 40's, but seem quite able to compete at the top level even now. Players can try to maintain their strength as they get older.

I don't know about genius. You get the feeling that players like Korchnoi and Topalov worked really hard to get where they were/are. Korchnoi in particular was this complete model of concentration and self-discipline whenever he sat down at the board. Even when he got in bad positions, he would double down, and work all the harder to drum up counterplay. I think that 'never say die' attitude was one of the keys to his success.

I think if you yourself or your coach think that you have reached your limit, you are going to find it hard to move past that, just because you believe it's impossible. You give up trying. 'Geniuses' don't give up, and that may be one of the things that sets them apart.

If you put limits on yourself, you tell yourself that "This is it! It's as long as I can go..." You won't get stronger and you will hit a plateau. But instead keep on practicing and try to get better and better everyday at what you do.
It is easier for kids because they learn chess as it was a second, or third language, because he's in a learning period where his/her brain get everything easier. An adult can try, but objectively, he/she does not have a big margin to improve.
I, for example, knew few years ago where is my limit, and it is in the (2200<x<2300) spectre, for a common GM it would be [x>2550) for example.
We, after all, have yo know where are our limits, and how to enjoy chess.
Hahaha

Then, I hope the best for you and for those that work hard, but, let me say to you that it is weird that an average chess player becomes master, according my experience and what I saw, it is practically not-probable.
I agree about that, but I'm just saying that it might have just as much to do with a lack of hard work, practice and sustained professional-level training as biology. Most non-masters don't seem to work as hard at chess as masters do. If Caruana and Karjakin are studying chess 9 hours a day, that's a pretty high bar to compete with.

Most of the time I'm not allowed to play video games either, so I study atleast 5 hours a day, and I'm only a 650 blitz rating, and I've been playing a year hey USCF I'm just one more year away from that title! Yeah I know I'm low rated! I don't care this guy told me that by the laws of the universe you must give me a title in 2 years if you play and study 4 hours on weekends! What! Oh my god he's wrong? I couldn't have ever imagined that I'm sorry take a expired McDonald's gift card.
So it took him nine years working a lot more than you are saying.
Two years is simply not possible.
