I have not played chess for a week. I feel burnt out. This is only the
second time this has happened to me in the past two years. The previous time
it happened to me, I came back with a vengeance and did quite well.

My chess regimen has typically involved daily playing/training (average of
2+ hours), 1 chess lesson per week, and 1 chess tournament every month or
two. I doubt that overtraining is the problem.

I am wondering if this happens to everybody, and if it is part of growing as
a chess player.

Thanks,
Sandy
