Pause - help

I didn't play chess for two months because of serious music competiton, I had to play several hours daily my instrument. Before that I had time for chess and I was reading books, cmx 10 tutorials tactical drills, I red about strategy, tactical motifs etc.

So after that pause I still know to play chess but I am confused. From where should I start refreshing my chess knowledge, opening lines, basic principles, reread my strategy books.... ?

I want to return in my best shape as fast as possible 🙂

just play.

then identify what is missing

Two months isn't that long of a gap. Gata Kamsky quit for 10 years and he's still 2700+

play some games. let your strengths and weaknesses guide you. just think about each move. never make a move without having a plan. always look for a better move just before you "submit"

Solve about twenty tactics puzzles, and you'll be good to go!
