Absolutely! The game of chess is an adventure, as much in the challenges, as in the learning, and the way to match... After being stuck for two years, between the hospital and the impossibility of moving, believe me I really take my "foot", to participate in the adventure again...
Chess preparation
Sort:
Since chess demands a high level of attention, which is directly tied to your passion for it, being a proficient player takes a significant amount of interest and enjoyment in the game. You won't get far if your sole motivation is to earn points and you don't have much fun playing chess.
Every game from now on, you must begin to believe in yourself. The development of this confidence and trust is aided by theory, knowledge, and chess preparation.
Finally, as illness is intimately linked to the mind and will significantly impair one's capacity for making intelligent plays, one should prioritise his health when playing chess. Concentration is hampered by symptoms like a runny nose, headache, hoarse throat, etc.
