Eh, a lot of us I imagine, myself included, would wish we'd discovered the game at your age or younger.

You are not alone, I am also 15.

Just read my age statement here

<edit>

Meanwhile I’m a year older. But still feel the same.

I'm 13. I feel more mature than most my age, but I can't give an accurate estimate.

siebzehn

Since I had to calculate my age I guess I'm old enough not to care anymore.
Howhever apparently I'm 27 , I totaly forgot.

I haven't noticed a difference in the way I feel though since I was 6 or so.
I'm still as kiddy as a schoolboy

at age of 30 and under your body is silent.
it will start to whisper after 30.
it will talk to you loud and clear after 40
i will guess that it will scream at you after 50. (I will let you know in 5 years)

body will say "I AM NOT YOUNG ANYMORE!!!"

Oh crap, I thought all the time it was my Tinnitus

At age 50 it will say: "Why did you eat so much junk food in last 20 years?"

I don’t understand. I’m 55 and I very seldom eat junk food, I even cook for myself.

I'm 28, and my knees have been at least whispering to me for four years, I'm afraid.

Are you one of the runners here? Because that will happen...

I'm almost 29 (couple weeks), and yet still play sports like I'm 18. That always works out in my favor, let me tell you.

A lapsed runner. I ran from age 6 to age 14 or so, played soccer for most of the same time, and played tennis from 14-16. For the rest of high school, college and a few years after, I ran very irregularly.

I'm 25.

A few things I have noticed in the last few years:

It gets harder to cut my toenails (sorry, not the nicest image)
It takes me at least 3 days to get over a hangover
I like my steak rare-to-medium instead of well-done
The urge to play go has become stronger
I cannot last until lunchtime without a cup of tea

Most of all, I am jealous about those who are younger than me! Especially those who are 4kyu at 15 years old (?!). I was doing nothing more intelligent than playing Pokémon Silver at 15...

I am 63, born in 1949. That makes me about the third oldest of those who have owned up on here. (Could be wrong, there are a lot of posts.) I look even older.

How old do I feel? My literal-minded brain says it is impossible to answer, since I don't know how old the average 63-year-old feels; and what other reference is there?

One good thing about playing is that my arthritic pains and tinnitus disappear for the duration. But when my shaky hands can't cleanly pick up captured stones or my fading eyes can't clearly see the stones on the far side of the board, or my aging brain fails to recall a sequence I learnt only a month ago: then I feel the years even during play.

I don't feel too old at my local Go club because there are two members (who appear) older than me, and several in their 50s.
Also, few young players attend UK Go tournaments, and many of those that do seem to be the children of older players. It's nice that I don't feel out of place, but not so good for the future of the game here.

I tried teaching my children, but they were immune to the virus. Or, more likely, I am just a poor teacher.
