It sounds like you enjoy learning about the game but you don't enjoy actually playing it. I've met some guys like that before. They read middlegame books and watch master games but they never play. I think they're just bored of the game and do it just to do it...
I would take a long break from the game and see what happens.
I definitely agree!!!!!
Chess is a big tent... If you like the academic side, great! You don;t have to play people or computers to have a good time... which is why we are all here. I play on the board and with books and have a ball. I do have fun online. As they used to say a long, long, time ago.. "Do what you want to do". Enjoy chess in whatever form!!
