There is not any TOP 10 player in the chess world who started chess after 10 years, because it is impossible to begin very strong if you don't start very early. And these TOP 10 players work at least 6 hours every day since they started.

IIRC Smyslov (sp?) didn't start playing seriously until he was 12 or 13.

There are a number of incredibly strong chess players who didn't start young.
