Devin,
My experience: I began chess about a year and one-half ago on line at chess.com and have played correspondence chess exclusively with about a move per day (less, actually).
A few weeks ago I played several games live with a friend and a chess clock. I think we set the clock for 45 minutes each. It was fun. However! It was very dramatic and the hearts got racing particularly as we entered the end games. It took me a long time to come back down to my normal calm self. I suspect that with more experience I think I would be better at regulating my excitement level. We will see.
Hey sorry I am new to chess.com and just getting back into chess again. I am just wondering how much does online chess differ from over the board chess?
As far as practicing and really taking chess seriously?
What do grandmasters think of playing chess online and over the board ?
Sorry im sure this has been discussed before so if anyone has article links or threads please link me. I cannot find anything Credible.
Thanks,
Devin
