if i always play chess on a 2D board on pc when i will play in real life or maybe on a 3D board will this affect my chess(tactics,depht,etc)?

Actually, I find it better to play 2D. I played Chessmaster on 3D for years and had to choose the right set to see all the pieces clearly. I got Fritz and all of that changed. I find it to be clearer on 2D. It shouldn't affect how you play the game, but it will certainly make seeing the game better.

If you only play on one (2d or real life 3d) then playing for the first time on the other will be difficult at first.  That was my experience, and I've heard similar stories from others.  After you've done both for a little bit, you can switch back and forth and it wont matter.  It's just when you do one exclusively for a long time, it will make the other more difficult at first.

Yeah, you do get used to both after playing OTB and online for some time. For me though, I can always visualise much better when I see the 3D board in front of me - online, I make many more mistakes than I do with a proper board. Even with books and problems, I need to set them up in real life to actually process the position in front of me.
