playind too much 2D chess and very little OTB chess (3D) will definitely affect your visibility (in terms of chess ) although it will vary from person to person.

Hi:
I started playing chess mid-November. I have been playing on Chess.com relentlessly. I found a club and finally started playing OTB chess (3 games under my belt so far).
ONE IMPORTANT thing (at least I have learned), is that staring at and playing on a 2-D board for too long can hurt your OTB visibility. I make bad moves on Chess.com but not too many blunders because its a birds-eye view of the board and I can clearly see threats.
I've mad a few big blunders in my first couple OTB games. Moves that just shocked me. How couldn't I have possibly caught that
!
So, my solution is to now set up a real board for my games on Chess.com and play OTB in that fashion, then put my move into the computer and submit. Its helped, and I just thought this would be helpful for people like me... not for the rest of you guys out there
