Top grandmasters typically train five or more hours a day, so you will
probably lose some edge if you stop for some time. But you can get it back
if and when you start playing again.
On the other hand, so what? If an average player does not play for fun, he
should not play, period. Besides, maybe yhou need to get a life.
So put it away and if the game is for you, you will be drawn back to the
game. Otherwise yhou will find some more enjoyable pastime such as basket
weaving...
