Turn Based Negatively Effect Live Chess

Just curious if anyone out there finds that playing alot of turn based on-line chess negatively effects their live play.  

I think it depends. If you use the resources that are allowed can help you learn more about the openings you play and can directly translate into playing better live games; either Live here or live OTB.

Of course, if you play turn based like you play live, not using enough of your time, not using things like the opening explorer/books and not studying your games then it might not help much. Though, I don't think it would negatively impact your live play since playing more games will allow you to see more patterns and differing styles of play.

I do prefer online chess if only so as to be able to savor those rare games where symetry and elegance come together and in a completely adversarial way.. love it!  But i do tend to move fast when my opponents are online and  pushing their moves quickly.  I stop when I come to a position that deserves the proper attention and usually do something else or sleep on it.  

What I think  the problem is my moves in online chess are much more spot on and so in live chess I have a false sense of trust of in my moves, without the benefit of 20 minutes of depth...  

If you balance CC chess with live chess they complement each other.  If you play a lot of CC chess and don't play any live chess, you will find that your live chess has deteriorated; but its not from the amount of CC chess, but from the fact that you are out of practise for live chess.  BTW all chess is turn-based so I avoid the term.

Surely they're different? I used to use CC (and intend to again) to allow me to study, learn, and avoid blunders. I'm sure I'll make some.

OTB: Well, I hope some of that study and learning comes in handy, but time controls and playing well at the scheduled time whether I feel like it or not, feel well or not ... more sporting; less contemplative.

Bridge comes in flavours too: the way you (should!) play duplicate bridge has a number of differences to how you'd play non-duplicate bridge. Again, different circumstances, different emphasis, you need to change to suit or you won't do as well as you might.
