Age rating records

Standard (classical) only. For target age N: each player’s highest published standard rating on any list in calendar year ≤ birth year + N (so it can be from when they were younger than N on that list). The table shows the peak list: list year and age on that list (compact y/m/d if we have a full birth date, otherwise a year band such as 13–14).
