Three signals of future strength in chess

From this blog, I understand that I never had any of these traits and it’s good that I didn’t pursue chess as a career lol

Nice blog, good read. Do you think that good chess players peak early? I saw in your blog that all chess players that peak early necessarily won’t become GMs, but kids who become GMs, they should peak early right? This was slightly contradicting to me for I’ve heard people say around here in India: if you aren’t 2000 FIDE by 10th grade, then pack it up and go back to studying lol.
