Is 64 quite old? I'd say 84 is quite old.

I skimmed the quotes on CNN, so really, no I didn't read the whole article, actually I didn't read the first paragraph. I skimmed around and I had heard about Bobby Fischer beforehand just didn't realize he wasn't as old, not a real biggie? Or should I say not a real grav.. Rofl.
