Does OTB rating improve with daily chess.com play? How many, if Yes?

We play OTB tournaments almost every weekend but the rating improvement is been flat.

What is a good daily practice routine that have helped you all improve your OTB rating?? 

I am of the opinion that you should play at least 3 rapid games online every day, win or lose, so you will get some experience playing different variations and endgames. Helps with Time management as well. 

Hello,

My students are improving in both over-the-board (OTB) and online play. The coach will prepare players for OTB tournaments and then follow their progress. Daily communication is key, as I maintain with my students.

I want to share an example: a 9-year-old boy from the USA who just started competing in OTB events. Although he was initially at the same level without coach, he has made progress in nearly every event he has played after working with me.

Rating improves with an increase in chess skill. If your rating is consistently increasing, we can assume your chess skill is also increasing. Therefore both online and OTB ratings will go up. However, the difference between the two ratings varies from person to person. I am 2300 online, and I am rated 2000 USCF. I know others that are NM at my strength online.

This is very true

Playing doesn't help much if you dont analyze, find what you did non-best and study to improve that.

For me when I was improving (long ago) it came from mostly analyzing very deeply GM games of Fischer, Keres, Botvinnik, Lasker.

These days I study to slow my decline:

I analyze my games.

Analyze GM games in openings I play (first myself then later turn on the computer)

I look up and study end games in similar piece configurations as one I just played.

I record thematic tactics in my games and in GM games in my openings and go thru them periodically.

Somebody who plays a lot on-line won't gain much if it is mostly bullet. Since your history is primarily rapid with some daily you are opting for the time controls that give a better chance of improving. However even rapid is very fast compared to most tournament time controls.

I expect virtually no correlation between bullet play and OTB improvement, miniscule correlation between blitz and OTB, mild between rapid and OTB, some between daily and OTB, and a LOT if you analyze you on-line games (at any time control) and address your weaknesses (if you are under 3500 you have weaknesses - though they are microscopic when you approach 3500).

Playing here should help, but as my music teacher might say "that's playing not practice!" it still helps to study, GM games especially. Review that games you play here, and keep in mind computer suggestions may not be helpful to human play. I made many a brilliant move here that would not have been possible setting it up with moves the computer didn't like. Good luck.

Three games a day is way too much for playing rapid games. That means that you are not reviewing your games enough. You can play 1 30 minute game per day and make sure you are spending 1 minute per move until you have 5 minutes left. Then after the game you should study it for at least 1 hour with no engine. Do not rely on chess.com game review, it is extremely biased in ways that are not understandable to a human player. Then use an additional 30 minutes reviewing with the engine to find other mistakes. That is the way to improve along with reading books/watching videos and doing 10-30 minutes of tactics per day.

Why do you only play blitz
