I am extremly find hard to judge my opponents pattern/style in E-mail chess, One time they are strong in the area, are not in same condition next time, Even for  my case also. It is vastly fluctuating and the variation of style and pattern is unpredictable. This could be bacause of Our official work stress, personal life influences Etc Etc.

My conclusion is Playing on the board ( Tournaments ) is little bit predicatable and easy rather playing Email chess, which is tougher than Real time play ( boards with chess pieces)

 

Your comments & suggestions please!!

to us who are not so strong players, inconsistency is one part of our developing strength. when you have eliminated this inconsistency then you are a strong player.

it's hard to tell the way one feel's

accourding to me chess ismy time pass. i play chess to relax all the job stress, keep me engaged so that i dont feel life boring. your personal life should not affect your game & vice versa.

 email chess:

play when ever you feel to play, board settings can be changed so that you don't get bored of the board & pieces, no fear of loss, exposure to different styles of play, i find email chess suits me better.

tournment:

face to face play, apperance of challenger, audiance, people commenting  on moves, more over in indian clubs you finds chess is a team game rather than indiviual talents.

 this is my view-
