I am 12y/o, and just started to take chess seriously, am i too late

You are so late. I lost to a six year old last year. Of course, you could probably beat me at twelve. But it's not the same as beating me at six.

Depends what your goals are. If you are trying to become a top 10 player, then maybe you're too late. However, you could still become a very strong master player, maybe even grandmaster if you put in enough time. I started when I was 18 and by the time I was 21 I had gone from being 800 rated to 2000.

i am 12

It might be a bit late for GM, but I don't think it is too late for NM (2200).

How do you know if it's too late?

I can't understand how some people get so good at chess to never blunder and always find the best moves.

nobody can do that

Big talks for a 12yrs old, making plans for university and cvs..

Na it’s still good, the younger you start it the more time you have so get working 👍

You may have missed his nationality. It's only in the U.S. that you have to sell two kidneys and a liver to afford a four-year degree. In Australia it's pretty normal for smart 12 year olds to expect to go to university, and for it to be affordable.

Why is college so expensive here?

That's a really great question, to which I don't know the answer.

There is nothing wrong in planning early, I myself am 13 and already have my goals set.

Ty, I needed that reminder

You shouldn't think of what you can be. You should only play chess a lot if you adore playing chess! Then, it is not hard work, it is fun. And you will see what happens later. Many people can give you ideas how to start, how to get to certain levels. I played a lot when I young, then came work and family, but I still play blitz when I have time (for example when I travel to work) and teach chess for one young player (rating about 1400)

Too late if you dont get born on a chess board you won`t be able to make it

you ggood i started at 15 and im only 16 its ight to start late
