Chess is not for me?

I don't know is chess is good for me. I can play almost no OTB, because where I live there are very few OTB torunament, and most are only blitz. But even if I can play, I am very nervous when playing OTB. If you tell me that I'm going to play an OTB game tomorrow, I would be very nervous. When I sit, I can't think because I am very nervous, and I make stupid blunders, like hanging pieces or overlook a mate in 1. Plus I can't resist for so long. After an hour I feel already very tired. In my only OTB tournament I lost to weak players hanging pieces, missing simple tactics, ecc... I was winning against a 1900, then hang 3 pieces and lost the game. Maybe chess is not for me?

I would reccomend playing slow tournaments at the DHLC (dan heisman learning centre) http://www.chess.com/groups/home/dan-heisman-learning-center

they re-create OTB tournaments really well, when I first started playing at the DHLC I was very nervous every game and kept offering early draws ect and also found it hard to concentrate for any length of time but now after around six months playing at the DHLC I am confident and enjoy every game and now i feel that a 2hr game is quite short and prefer 3hr+ games and also I have almost zero nerves now as i am just playing for fun and i do not have to feed my family ect on winnings so when i do go to OTB tournaments i enjoy them and have very little nerves just like when i play for the DHLC :-)

Don't be nervous.  I know it's easy to say that, but there's really no need to be nervous when sitting down to play a game like chess.  Do you get nervous when you start to play a game like Monopoly?  At chess, you're either going to win or lose.  And until you get good at it, you'll lose quite a bit.  The best thing is to try to learn from it and understand why you lost.

yeah i get nervous at important games, but it can make you blunder, or make you concentrate. It might be good to find a partner who plays chess and play a lot of OTB games with him.(or her) this can be a very good way to improve. N2UHC and romanic666`s advice is very good. 

Getting nervous and then blundered happen to everybody. So what you are experiencing is normal. What is not normal is beating a former world champion when you are 13 and become a world champion before you reach 25.

Good suggestions!  Here's one more.  Maybe you should stick to correspondence chess ("online" in Erikspeak) until you feel a little more confident of your skills.  It's going to be a lot easier to settle your nerves once you have developed an opening repertoire that you're confident in.  Tactics study is a great way to increase the clarity of your board vision as well.  Because correspondence chess is "open book" you get a chance to get out of the opening phase in a decent position and with hours to consider candidate moves (days if you need them) you won't be hanging pieces.  Sure it's "training wheels" chess, but if it gets you the skills and confidence to play live, then maybe that's what you need right now.  It would be a pity to give up the game.  Anyway, best of luck to you.

The problem is that nobody take online chess seriosly, they just make blitz moves or say that who plays online is not a serios player and insult who play online ecc... so I become bored by these people. Plus for me it's very difficult to reach OTB tournaments. And when I can I can't even think because I am too nervous.

well some people talk junk! just play and enjoy the game no matter what the time control or place of play (internet or OTB) have fun, enjoy the patterns that arrise and try to learn from you mistakes! :-)

Blitz is notoriously bad. Speed does not improve play.

That's ok everyone is nervous when they first start to play OTB but you'll get past it when you learn to control your emotions and remain calm you should approach the board fearlessly no matter who's sitting across from you or you'll lose the game before touching a piece your opponent is is going to see it in your face that your afraid of him or her like a boxer and they'll be all over you once the clock starts and knock you out or beat you up you won't know the name of the bus or truck that ran over you!

Good luck!

Try to play to learn in stead of winning. The nerves will probably disappear. Analyse your game with your opponent. Drink together. Make jokes..

it's you and your mind against the board your oponent merely moves the pieces for you! :-)

I can't listen to music when I'm playing an OTB tournament.

In my first game against a 1900 I won a pawn by gaining an initiative on my opponent's light squares after he traded the light-squared bishops. Then I blundered a knight. Next I lost the endgame after he sacked the extra knight. Good times.  

Maybe you're taking your games a little too seriously. Try playing some openings you don't know and don't try looking them up. Gambit a pawn and try to figure it out otb. Play in a way you don't normally play. If you go to the board to simply play and have no expectations you might do better.
