Chess is a very demanding mistress, like most arts or sciences. Getting
away
from it too can give perspective and allow some things to sink into our
subconsciousness as we process them, make them more natural.

yes indeed! I often find that things that I study in chess don't really sink
in till months later when a light bulb goes on and I say... "Oh Yeah! so
that's what he meant"
