 When was the last time you played OTB?
anyone else just play online these days? if so, do you think you play better/worse as a result of not playing the 'old-fashioned' way?

I like to play with real chessboard
I like to play with real pieces with my sons and husband.Unlucky I lose most times.I can concentrate better alone with myself in front of the computer!

I play regularly during the school year against a colleague and the students. Since summer holidays, I haven't played a real game, but I'll get a couple in over the summer and then back to my routine of 2-5\day at chess club.

Last season
I played last season (Sept '11-May '12) for Kidderminster and Worcestershire, and I plan to play for Pen-y-ffordd in '12-'13

I play daily
with my husband. We usually keep a game going....sort of like online....we make our moves when we can. He usually wins, but it's getting more difficult for him. I actually beat him last week. Maybe I'm FINALLY becoming a challenge for him!
But I have to say that I really miss the analyze feature when playing on a board.

Rusty at OTB
Jon (my team co-capt) did an OTB tourney this weekend. I tagged along and played some skittles while he was playing his rounds.
I don't like tournaments much, they stress me out. Skittles is much more fun. Did ok on the slow games, but took a while to get back into Blitz. Won a few, lost a few. Overall pleased (especially with some resounding wins against males not expecting to be beaten by an unfamiliar woman player) but it's obvious I need to balance online and OTB better.
I might do the American Open this Thanksgiving weekend. However I should sharpen up my OTB game or I could get massacred.
