I just want my strength back, and I ordered the same course I trained under. Do you think I can come back at 46 years old? I'm starting over.
Originally posted by @greenpawn34Great point if he plays 1600
I agree a 10 year gap is not too long if he plays fellow 1600.players.
But if say a 2200 player tries a comeback and meets other 2200 players he will struggle..

Well he did say he played off a 1600 rating.
A rusty lad will be OK there. up at 2200 the players
are more booked up and play regular.

Originally posted by @powershakerYes you can! Be patient, and keep working at it. And if you plan to do it here on RHP, just remember to slow down and find good moves. 🙂
