Yeah same I took a break a couple days ago and now it’s hard to make myself play a game because I’m afriad that I have forgotten everything

Chess isn't worth it if you are just stroking your ego.

Why would someone’s ego make chess not worth playing

Best advice: forget the ratings scheme, play for the love of the game. Win or lose, no matter. Enjoy the game. Best regards.

Getting better at chess just to stroke your ego is fruitless. You still lose no matter how hard you try. You hit a wall and never get better.

Getting better isnt about stroking your ego it's about the love of the game. Can you chill?
