its a perfectly natural thing to happen with anything one does that requires alot of practice, just taking a quick break can sometimes be all you need to be efficient again.
|
The improvement you get from the break is because while you're sleeping in the REM phase, new connections are formed between your neurons related to whatever you did during the day, specially to those done before going to sleep. That's why people seem to improve overnight, or over days and while they're not practicing whatever it is they practice. However, those connections are somewhat unconscious so you just feel it, but normally don't gain any new rational knowledge. As you play more, the rationality comes in, and pushes those unconsicous learnings aside.
There are some cases where those connections can transform into palpable knowledge, which is related to creativity, and when people suddenly have new ideas that relate lots of things, in a broader way which is normally called epiphany.

This only happened in BW for me...

It makes me wonder, in the case of professional players that practice over 9 hours a day, do they actually just chain-game? Perhaps, they take small breaks between games? I guess it may be different when you are working on one particular strategy against a specific race over and over.

Hmm... as far as the "long term" fatigue I think that's just falling into a strategy/mechanics rut. It's easy to just concentrate on one thing to improve and not move on. I'd tell myself before every game "Okay, this game I'm working on probe production," "Okay, this game I'm building out of gateways only," "Now I'm working on timing." Got this idea from Day 9, watch episode 121, helped me.
