True, but then who is not aging?
Maybe each passing year will see old guys like Mr. Houdart decline while we remain strong! I'm reminded of a game between Korchnoi and Timman a few years ago. Korchnoi was age 75 or more, while Timman was about twenty years younger. Korchnoi said after the game that his strategy was to prolong the game so that "old man" Timman would tire and weaken in the fifth hour or so of play!

Before we kick the bucket we still have a few things to teach these young kids.
Capital punishment would be more effective as a preventive measure if it were administered prior to the crime.
