what happened to this 3 year old was now he's not that good - 1500 fide ish after the march rating change so 1200 before. as i was saying from my previous comment if you join the game too early it will just get boring and he probably has no more motivation of improving in chess as he's been playing it literally his whole life. also as @bijiy said, if you start at that age parents will also play a big role in your success and his parents probably pushed him to the max at this type of age, making him have a lot of pressure and to not play as well. which is why i say 5 years old is early - somewhere 7-9 i recommend if you want to have a good chance of getting a title

You do not need to start at age of 5 to become GM. If you will start at age of 18, it will be probably impossible to motivate yourself on sitting day and night looking at wooden board, when there is so much more things to do at that age in the world... like, why would you do that...
If you want to start at age 30, that will be surely impossible to find motivation, again, because there are so many more interesting things to do, learn, read, etc.... rather than sitting looking into that wooden board and dreaming that FIDE one day will give you that superb title...

Some start before the age of 7 and others peak at their prime years. Don't forget their are late bloomers.

> Hey everyone! Why is 5 the golden number? Is even a few years ahead bad?
I started when I was 5(10 years ago) but I never stuck to chess until the pandemic. During these 4 years I did everything and I can now win 2000 fide rated players. When I started again playing otb after the pandemic my fide rating was 1072 and now I can win 2000+ players and I am increasing my rating.I hope I reach 2000 before I turn to an adult(just for fun)

WOW nice. even still I'm only rated FIDE 1122 after doing chess for 8 years!! Sorry 1473 now after new adjustments.
Are you talking about beating players who are rated 2000 FIDE online or OTB?

I think you're talking about beating 2000 FIDE players online because you only have bullet for a reasonable rating.

Do you really have to start chess at the age of 5 ... No !
Out of the 4,548 GM's in the world, how many of those GM's in 2006 started learning chess before 5 and how many started after 5. If you discover that, than maybe you will have the answer. It's not one size fits all. The player needs to think logically to become a GM.

It has nothing to do with motivation. Starting as an adult your main enemy is the biology.
