im really bad playing online chess, but ok over the board. im making blunders that i would never do over the board. idk, even though i already have 1200+ chess games here, i still seem to not be able to use to online, i just cant and i dont know how to solve this problem

i even lose to the same person that i easily win OTB, sometimes i dont even see regular things on the online board and make some stupid blunders like let my opponent mate me in 1 or place my queen on the square, which opponents bishop is hitting

I’m the same way, it’s way easier to identify threats over the board for me.

I had the exact opposite problem. I would make blunders on otb that I wouldn’t make looking at my little 2 dimensional phone screen. It took a little bit to adjust but I did.

^same. I particularly have trouble identifying x-ray defense otb. I’ve been practicing, though. My third ever game otb ended with me taking a pawn that was defended with a queen and a bishop on the same diagonal. Hopefully i’ve gotten better though.

I don’t think it’s too big of a deal. I figure chess.com is preparation for OTB.

I even know an IM on here who struggles against 1700 online players.
