Of course you could live in a comfortable delusion believing that you're still a great chess player, but I'm not sure I'd call it a scientific fact. It might be a fact that you're delusional.

Busted. Chess players don't get "*" ratings, restaurants do. In Chess you get a
numerical rating. e.g. Magnus Carlsen has a peak rating of "2882." (His peak rating is the highest in history.) and he is NORWEGIAN! I thought you
should know that. For compirson Bobby Fischer's peak rating was 2785 in 1972. Gary Kasparov peak rating was 2851 in 1999.
