The problem with OTB is that it’s hard to find people who hit that sweet spot of rating difference. So often they are a lot better or a lot worse than you, and even if you are at a club, there are usually only a couple of people who are more or less at the same rating, and playing them repeatedly gets stale.

But OTB is definitely better for the social interaction. My sister and I play once a week as a planned thing, but really the chess is only an excuse to get together and talk about what’s going on in our lives. I can neither confirm nor deny if alcohol is involved.

Nobody was thinking about alcohol until it was brought up.

But that’s one of the benefits of OTB. You can’t really share some wine over an online game.

Online, because you can't win crazy time scrambles OTB. You will just flag; premoves rule.
