That is not grammatical. One rendition in such a style might be:
> Botvinnik famously recommended that a professional chess player only play 80 tournament games a year and leave time to think about chess.
Though I would prefer to substitute for 'year and leave time to think' one of: 'year, to leave time to think', 'year, leaving time to think', or even 'year, to live time for thinking'.
There is also an ambiguity in the original: 'a professional chess player' may be taken as definite; that is, it may seem as though the advice was directed at a specific chess player. To avoid the possibility of such an interpretation, I might prefer the rendition using 'one', or something like this:
> Botvinnik famously recommended that professional chess players only play 80 tournament games a year, to leave time for thinking about chess.
