A genuine question !
By humble533k3R, history, 3 years ago, In English

Will the legendary performers of codeforces will still be able to perform this well ( able to come in top rated list like they are now), when they will be old.(in case if they do regular contest). Like in game of chess even the all time best players are not able to perform well when they get old, recently legendary player Garry Kasparov(considered as one of the best chess player of all time) played very bad in recent tournament and the reason is his age, and he is not the only one who didnt performed well with age. LOl just a question popped in my mind will this happen in cp as well.

the reason is his age

Well, Viswanathan Anand (51 years old) ended up in 2nd position in recent Croatia Grand Chess Tour and he also Defeated Ian Nepomniachtchi(World champion challenger). So, i dont think so age matters much, practice matters mostly.

    Yes, Anand was quite well prepared for the recent lines, which were well evident in the match with Nepo, whereas Garry losing on time when he had 10-12 seconds to move showed that he was far from playing chess games.

Comparison is incorrect. You asking will LGM's perform well, if they gonna do regular contest, but Kasparov retired from professional chess 16 years ago and only plays only for fun now.

    Ok now lets think in general, What you think, with growing age and experience their performance increase or decrease? ( technically it should increase alot as they are more experienced compared to youngsters but do it really increase?)

      Here is a good comparison. After a thousand years, subject will not survive. You can take observations from here on.
