On what do you base your opinion, then, that you are better OTB than online?
yes, because i miss tactics and i do not feel as comfortable and focused on online chess. But On th e board, i see them. And usualy do not blunder, litteraly like never. It does surprise me alot though.
I guess, it is like that for some people.

You say that, but you have never played in a rated game...who do you play against? I suggest you find a local chess club and start attending regularly. Good luck!
Ummm, i am far from any club.
Ok, well i might join the dothan chess club sometime soo, it is the closest one. BTW on chessbase. I am 1718 elo in blitz just beat a 1900 and a 1600

Yes, we all believe you.
But perhaps it is because you actually play 1...f6 in response to 1. d4, as can be seen here:

You are not 1718...the first step towards improvement in ANYTHING is honest self-assessment.
Well yes, do major tactics watch GM lessons, study a few games here and there, analyze my games.
