Claude Bloodgood was 1650 in his 30s and reached as high as 2789 USCF. Granted, his talent was probably off the charts, but it definitely shows that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. I highly recommend you use his progression as your role model if you want success.

Tyler1 hands down!!

Reaching 2000 should be possible for any reasonably intelligent person willing to put in a few thousand hours (work\kids\age obviously makes it much harder but not impossible)

I started chess @ 19, first USCF of 1100 at age twenty, at twenty-nine broke 1600, broke 2000 on my 33rd birthday (winning a $50 bet that I wouldn't)... damn 13 years ago now :(

Wilhelm Steinitz became the first official world champion at the age of 50. And continued winning matches for years.
Keep at it folks!

And don't forget a later world champion, Vasily Smyslov. He is noteworthy for what he could do post-champion.
Candidates Final at 62 and formidable at other events until very late in life. Had a FIDE rating of 2400 aged about 70, and in his final tournament he gave Zsofia Polgar a bashing, at the age of 80. Come on!!
