Old aged and high rated OTB ?

GM Michael Adams, 52 years old, is at 2670 FIDE rating currently, a pretty active player and doing well.
Are there other 50+ year old players with high rating ?

Anand,54 ~2748. Gelfand,55 ~2660. Shirov,51 ~ 2668, are still in the top 100 FIDE ranking list.

Top 100 rated players aged 50 or older: ratings.fide.com/rankings.phtml?continent=0&country=&rating=standard&gender=&age1=50&age2=0&period=2023-12-01&period2=1

Going from Anand (54/2748) to Korneev (54/2469)

Note that the list may not be complete. According the same fide.com website, Anatoly Karpov is 72, and has a rating of 2617, but he does not appear on this list.

But there is hope for all of us. If you are 99, a rating of 1161 makes you a contender for the 7th place!

Smyslov was over age 60 (62?) when he played Kasparov in a Candidates Match & Korchnoi vs Kasparov was the Final Candidates Match tp see who would play Karpov @achja Also Lasker was over 50 when he won NY 1924 & then he won in Zurich around 10 years later I believe he was 54 & 64 . Of course they were Middle- Age not old' right ?

*Interesting*

Thanks. Yes, indeed. I think Smyslov even won a game against Kasparov back then.
(English is my native language. Is it middle-age and not old ?).
I remember that I saw GM David Bronstein, a former world champion contender, live in Dieren Open tourney, and I was surprised to see his relatively low 2400+ rating. Some other time I had seen GM Westerinen with a rather low rating, but when I saw David Bronstein there it occurred to me that when chess players get older their ratings can drop a lot perhaps due to "decay" and lack of stamina. Standard OTB chess can require hours of attention and concentration. It is not the first time I am impressed with Michael Adams being almost 2700 rated, and yes, thanks all for your comments, impressed with Anand and Shirov too.

The USCF publishes a list of top 100 by age group and by time control. From the ratings on their list, it seems clear that we decline much faster at faster time controls than at slower ones. Also the top in an older age bracket is usually dominated by those just entering it.
My only listing was top 100 at blitz over 60 (I'm 67). If I ever get to retire I'll pick up tournament chess again and see if I can crack another list. (I doubt it but it may be fun trying.) Bill

@achja Middle-Aged might be correct but here in USA it's a different Dialect than the English that speak The Kings' English

Viktor Korchnoi had a rating of 2629 at the age of 75 (and was ranked #85 in the world). At 81, his rating was still above 2500.
