What does OTB stand for?

I know it's a total noob thing, but I'm a total noob.
Is it Online Tourney Blitz or something similar?
Maybe it's Overweight Troll Birds?
or Outdated Table Battles?
Octagons Trapezoids and Boomerangs?
Offcolor Tactics and Bluffs?

I really don't know.

On The Booze

LOL

no, serious, what does it mean

I'll guess.

Over The Board?

Oh yeh, thanks! That would make sense. You have not idea how troublesome that was, not being able to figure that one out. I kept thinking correspondence vs. blitz. When you start thinking it stands for Oddly Tuber-shaped Balloons, you've got to stop and check yourself.

I stop an check myself quite often 🙂

Yeah OTB does stand for "Over The Board", i.e. real life, real time chess with a proper 3d board and a live opponent opposite you.
