It is amazing how well Waldner plays despite his age. At what age do you think you are not able to play well anymore?
Age is not the problem. It's how well the player can deal with the inevitable injuries. That is, assuming no illnesses become apparent.
I think that Klampar still plays competently in Hungary.
In UK, there are still a few ex-internationals still active on the veterans circuit, and still winning against their contempories.
Aubrey Simons, a world team champion from the early fifties, was still active in my local league until about 10years ago. Two of his teammates are still playing ven though they are 90+.
