I'm 17 and I've never did chess seriously. From my early age I know how to
play chess but till recently I never did deeper research. I would like to
start training chess and be a great player. Is there still a chance that I
will become one day a GM?

I started a response to him, then when I realised that I was going to tell
someone who isn't even half my age that he's probably a little old to get
to the very top, I got depressed and cancelled my post.

Your age won't stop you if you spend about 15-25 straight years studying the
game for 40+ hours a week, AND you have the talent to make that count.

You'll also be wise not to smoke or drink much, as that might shorten your
physical capabilities with age.

He's not too old, but he's probably too distracted by life. Players usually
get better when they have little else to do and spend a lot of time playing.
