It’s Simple: Play The Game
In the course of acquiring a skill, age is almost always irrelevant. Someone who is sixty-five years of age can still learn to swim, to workout, to play table tennis, and even play chess. Chess is a game, like I have said in a previous article, that a lot of people believe can only be played by geniuses, the smartest people alive. But I’m not terribly smart and I play chess. And I happen to be pretty good at it too — for an intermediate player, of course.
But, in order to even learn how to do something, a level of participation is inevitable. You need to do the work to see the work. I know people who love to analyze their games and learn, in theory, what they did wrong. But that theory has to be translated to practice because that’s what makes the theory stick.
My rating on chess.com is at about 1400+ as at the time of this article and I haven’t been playing as religiously as I used to.
