Do tactics before school and play as much as you can over the summer...
Chess Regression


don't read books, getting general ideas on openings and studying tactics are more important, but mostly studying tactics.

I've been getting busier and busier with each passing day, loaded down with schoolwork and whatnot, so I haven't played chess in a while. Now, since it's break, I've decided to take up chess again- but I got a nasty surprise:
it seems as though, within those three months of hurried schoolwork, my ability to play chess has regressed dramatically.
If anyone has suggestions on how to get my ability back up, please say so.
