Curious what others find when playing their games on the chessup2 compared to playing on the computer do you find you have better game outcomes, better tactical vision and less blunders? I’d say I was asking for a friend but nope 😃

On this - we have some data I will share in a bit - turns out people play better OTB on average. \*As long as they don’t pick bullet or super fast blitz.

That’s awesome, I’m thinking to try a period of time only playing my rapid games on the board and see how that rating changes along with game insights.

I find that I actually think more OTB. It may have to do with moving my opponents pieces for them, so its more deliberate when they blunder, but I feel like I play WAY better over the board.

Really? I find that I have some more difficulty and lose sight of pieces a bit faster on the board when I haven’t played on it in a while (but still playing daylies online).

I would think the results would vary a lot for people who learned to play chess on an actual board, and those who learned to play on a 2D screen.
