RHP or face to face Chess

Edit: I accidently pressed the enter key.. Whoops

Well i'm just wondering. Do you think you play better here on RHP, or when you play face to face?

I prefer RHP.. I think i play on here much better! One advantage is i have all the time to think of a good move, no one can bug me! While playing face to face chess, geeez your opponent, every second "Comon play" "I'm waiting" "Hurry up i'm sleeping down here" This leads me to blunder and lose the game eventually!

So which do you prefer?

Yes please.

EDIT: Same as Kellsy. I only have one person willing to play chess with me OTB. So I don't get the chance much. I prefer OTB. You can sit and concentrate on one game. Set the mood with chilled music and have a spliff and the likes. Doesn't happen enough though.

Most chess players are pretty unattractive, so I prefer not seeing them "face to face".

I play better OTB. I often play offhandedly here because it's just the Internet and all, games drag on forever, have to leave the house and work and etc., whereas having an opponent right there in front of me makes me focus more.

RHP naked in the spa pool with wine in hand? no not me
Strip Chess? face to face Item of clothing off for every piece taken mmm maybe with the right friends...

Straight RHP for me with forum fun and interesting chats around the world. Convenient.

I prefer playing on the board. I have a fine Russian chess set. Nobody will play with me though.

Has anyone tried playing RHP with a webcam set up? Wouldn't that be cool.

Have you ever played a game with one of those massive chess sets you sometimes find in parks and such places? I used to watch the hobos play outside the Johannesburg Library...never asked them for a game.

I prefer here I have 1 or 2 friends who I play OTB but the game is over vert quickly and we all know each others styles.

Plus my friend says he gets very stressed when he plays me (I have no idea why)

so definately here

Playing with masks could be a hoot.

Themed chess play with webcams...that's it...any excuse to sit in front of a computer wearing a mask...soon everyone'll be doing it.

I i would play face to face with you katty, I would play much worser than on RHP as your whole apperance would definetly block my concentration.

NO, you cannot move the queen in the first move. And stop surrounding my queen by five of your pawns:

On the other hand I really prefer a good game of chess with my pals.
Classic music (Bach), a good whiskey, a good pipe with a nice pipeweed and plenty of time. That´s what make a good game of chess.
