Originally posted by bill718dude everyone goes through this. i got some great advice from a friend recently for there were so many things i was trying to learn, just concentrate on the basics, tactics, middle game strategy, positional concepts and common end game themes, and no more than one at a time, and make sure if you are reading a chess book that its an enjoyable chess book.
My focus on chess seems to go in 14-18 month cycles. 14-18 months of intense interest in chess, followed by the same period of disinterested burnout. Does this happen to anyone else?😕

If nothing else, it will reduce the period of inactivity. 😛
