Yasser Seirawan didn't even start chess until he was 12 and was one of the best players in the world at one point.

Not too late, if u were aiming for GM, then it is probably too late

its never too late to start anything . obviously early is better that later but 12 is a completely okay time to start . your brain is still developing and you will learn faster then someone who comes back to chess in their late 20s for example ( me ) also you have more time since all you really have to do at age 12 is schoolwork .

Too late to be a GM probably but it's definitely alright to be an NM

I'm 15, started taking chess seriously six months ago, and I've gone from 228 to 700 in rapid since then. Definitely not too late, but it does take a lot of dedication.
