You can learn new things after age 19. I can accept that young humans can learn more but old humans can also learn if they train some hours per day with the right positions(books of combination are not very productive because there is often tactics that does not include sacrifices). The right positions to train should be positions when humans did tactical mistakes when the target is to avoid a tactical mistake. Uri
