It's about comfort growing up I played on a board, but didn't always have someone to play with. With chess being online it allowed me to begin playing more. However, after years of playing online I played on a board today and it was bad. The layout is different, the way I viewed board felt awkward, I mistake his king for a queen. It's like practicing basketball in your home gym then going to play on a random outdoor court. It's a different feel. Also, a computer the view of the board is at an angle facing you, while a chess board you're looking down.
Do You Play Better Over The Board Or Virtually?
