Yes

Welcome back

if you are looking for refreshing performances you can consult : @aquajewel">@aquajewel any time !

Chess heavily relies on pattern recognition, which can diminish without regular practice. This might affect both your tactical and positional play.

You will see a decrease. I left chess for two years when covid hit as I had no one to play against. When I returned my friend destroyed me since he was practising with his uncle. The reason for this is memory. Remembering how to do those moves is so important as a whole

no welcome !
