Hi everyone, I learnt chess for 5 months, currently 1560 in rapid (1590 peak). Due to my academic issue ( I will have an very important exam in June), I have to leave chess from now on because I found playing online chess would somehow affect my mentality, like today I tried to hit 1600 rating but failed twice (one win away
), got little bit frustrated and cannot focus on study. Thus, I decided to leave chess for a while until I finish my exam.
Just want to know if anyone of you ever experienced such a long break and is there any negative effect on your performance after that? What's your advice to keep your skill level? Thanks!
