3D Chess verses Flat screen chess question

I have been playing here on chess.com and chessmagnet school for five years or more, and something has happened and I would love to hear any ones imput if I am hallucinating, or this is possible. I am not just, but much stronger analyzing the best move, on the flat screen looking at the pieces then three dimensional life like pieces. 

Yes, it is common to prefer viewing the board in either 2d or 3d over the other option.  There are people the opposite of you that see things much better with real pieces than they do on a computer screen.  It comes down to how you do most of your work.  

I found this in myself as well.  I tried to combat it by doing chesstempo problems on a real problem for a couple of hours before an otb tournament.  It seemed to help a lot.  Since then, I try to do a large portion of my chess study/work on a real board.  I even do my self-analysis with a real board and pieces plus a physical pencil and paper.

I'll have it on screen in either 2 or 3D and have my board set up beside my computer. I find that helps me the best.

Thank you very much for that great explanation.  I have made some poor moves and after could not understand why I did?  But now I wonder if some one made great moves all the time on a chess board like those travel kinds and the pieces stick to the playing surface with velcro or magnate and they are flat images, would they be able to use that in a USCF or Fide tournament. Like play both boards before they make there moves?

i have a flat screen on the door of my oven in my kitchen.

it is very helpful by seeing when the muffins were done baking during breakfast this morning

Sweep, lolo thats too much  Watch that your chess does not get tooo hot and start a fire!  But I just ordered one of those chess demonstration hang on wall, see if that helps my mental problem?

i don't like chess demonstration boards because you can't use them to play on a table

i would rather use a normal chess board

I plan to use it when I am play a 3D game with the computer, something like chess Titans etc. 

BTW you are really a very good blitz live player, how did you get your start in  chess and be so good at it? 

Just play

I also sleep with a chess book under my pillow. The knowledge moves from the book to my head automatically overnight by law of diffusion/osmosis.
