> well to be fair in my opinion 9-10 years old is the best place to start bc your not extremely stupid (what can you expect from a 5 year old lets be real) and also in my experience (i started chess really early) the board game just gets really boring if you start way too early. but it is true that starting chess in your youth gives a huge advantage towards aiming to get a title, for example its pretty much impossible for a 30 year old who just started chess to get GM.
ima be honest i agree with every single part of this
especially how chess can get boring if you start too early
also, usually when you start at an age like 5 and you get good your parents start pushing you a lot to the point where its no longer that enjoyable anymore
