Do you like live, online, or OTB chess

which do you like the most live, online, or OTB (over the board) chess. Each have different qualities. I personally like online because of the large time limit.

Live

  • timed for a small limit of time
  • no analysis board
  • one game at a time
  • computer

Online

  • timed for a large amount of time
  • analysis board
  • multiple games available
  • computer
  • vacation time

OTB

  • doesn't often have a time limit (besides of course the amount of time the players want to play)
  • no analysis board
  • one game at a time
  • real life

I personally like Online (Corrospondence) chess. It allows me time to play my best. So I shouldn't have an excuse of losing, but I do anyways!

Just when I'm having a bad day, then I might blunder a move or twenty.

you must blunder less than me because your rating is 200 points higher

Online, but I don't like the fact that the opening explorer can make it stale for quite a while though.

OTB against my Russian neighbor.  The scowl on her face when she recognizes a lost position is priceless....Once upon a time, before I joined chess.com, she used to beat me regularly and no, I haven't told her how I got better.
