Anand, Gelfand, Dreev and Ivanchuck are all 50 or older, unless you just mean blitz, in which case it's just Anand and Dreev.

- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoAnand is about 100 Elo points weaker than Carlsen at all time controls. It's impressive that Anand is still #15 at his age (50 years), but he's the only 50-year-old at that elite level (2700+ Elo). The age distribution of the top 100 Classical players is: 16-19: 5 20-29: 39 30-39: 40 40-49: 12 50-51: 4 The 20s and 30s are really the peak ages for chess.
- thom 7y agoWasn't disputing that, just the inaccuracy of the previous comment.
