Will my experiment work?

I‘ve heard so many „short-cutting“ philosophies/trials - and none of such short term measures worked to a large extent. Never ever.

So expect a bit and be happy if it turns out to be a bit in the right direction.
Fischer did not play in 1969 and only did analysis. He came back in 1970 much stronger than ever before.

"... from now until the 1st May I will not play 1 single chess game..."

A fasting period. I decided to make it so around 1980 for more than 30 years. It doesn't help.

Officially my experiment starts tomorrow but even after a few days of not playing chess and just reading books (I was finishing "simple attacking plans" by Fred Wilson) I played a game today and pulled off this brilliancy:

"In the opening, whenever justified, relentlessly attack the weak squares f7 or f2".

I read that 2 days ago. Imagine what I can do with a months knowledge! I won't be posting in the forums for a month to avoid any distractions but thanks for all your feedback.

You must be reading the same book as me.
