One measure of chess prodigies is the age at which they gain the International Grandmaster title.

“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“We are none of us infallible—not even the youngest of us.”
—William Hepworth Thompson (1810–1886)
