OTB Nerves

It's fair to say that I play a lot more online than OTB. But when I do play OTB, I feel my play is markedly inferior. Starting with I feel a lot more nervous. And this isn't some tournament that I am playing, but more like casual OTB Blitz/Rapid games. I miss one move blunders or two move tactics.

But overall I feel I end up being a lot more lazy and stop spending time anticipating my opponent's moves. When playing online this happens much less frequently.

Probably the solution is to play a lot more OTB. But I thought I would ask to see if others had more suggestions on what helped them.

i was the opposite for a while. my online play was worse than my OTB.

you could buy a digital board to play your online games with.
