experiencing Chess on real board
Sort:
Do you feel demused of playing real chess against players after you have all the time playing through mobile or computer screen? I didn't try that,so is that really make you confuse a little when you first playing on real board or not?
if the time controls are long enough you should be able to adjust on the fly
you can always get a real board and practice- master games; setting up tt problems, etc- at home before playing "live otb"

At longer time control, it is almost the same. But for me, playing online blitz is more comfortable as you don't have to worry with pieces flying, illegal moves,pressing the clock with the hand that you used to move the pieces etc. In otb blitz, it is an automatic defeat if you allowed your king to be captured.
Having said these, playing OTB is fun.

Having spent most of my life playing almost exclusively on real boards, it's a pleasure for me now that it's relatively rare that I get to do so. I will say that I think I see the diagonals better on a 2D online screen than on a real 2 1/4" to 2 1/2" (5.7 cm to 6.4 cm) per square board,
