On: At 88, Poker Legend Doyle Brunson Is Still Bluffin...

You don't have to stop playing. Kasparov (59) still plays here and there and he's still pretty great. Anand is 52 and is 13th in the world.

Chess requires a crazy amount of time invested and you're likely going to stop, and definitely slow, making gains at a certain age. Lots of people play chess for reasons other than becoming the world champion (since obviously most won't).

That said I play online chess too much and it's sort of a waste of time ;)

Being snarky is strickly against hn guidelines. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Alao sarcasm is generally disliked, usually downvoted.

Disclaimer: not a mod, just want people to be nice to each other. NZer, so I sarc myself, but inappropriate on HN.

ah, well, we've proven again those don't always work over the Internet. I mean Google works but sarcasm and irony not always.
