Dude goes 25 years between appearances in the world top 100? Gained 200 points in a couple of years in his fifties? Blatantly suspicious and no shock to learn he is cheating.

There are no short-cuts and no special points, it‘s virtually „all“. Playing complete games, training everything and analyze it completely. Practice > theory.
