Is 1 day of no chess enough to refresh my mind.. for a chess tournament?
It depends on many things, the most important being your own prior experience.
I think 1 day is good, I am going to try not playing for 3 days followed By one day full of chess and then one full rest day before my tournament.
why aren't you playing chess before tournaments.
you can train instead of playing! GM's train before tournaments...
