Lately, I've noticed a lot of players grinding away at the online boards for hours on end, sometimes without even taking a break. It boosts their rank, but it also increases fatigue and lowers the quality of their gameplay. Some clubs are already testing mandatory short breaks between matches. Do you think it would be worth implementing these breaks officially, say every 30-45 minutes? What pros and cons do you see? It might help maintain focus and prevent burnout, but it could also annoy those who just want to play without restrictions. Share your thoughts!
Do you think it's worth introducing mandatory breaks in online chess training to reduce fatigue?

Mandatory breaks in online chess training are like the rest timer in video games: they help restore focus, like a quick sprint after a marathon coding session. Meanwhile, flexibility—like an optional pause—can satisfy those who don’t like strict limits.
