I started 'playing chess while I was abot 9 0r 10 and played it a lot for 2 years and then stopped cause on my new school there wasn't chess club.
After that I played a few games through the years but never consistely till I joined RHP. At first I didn't take this serious enough and just played but now I'm trying to take this a little bit more serious. I have a couple of books to read I am now starting to analyse my own games.
I think that I'm better but yesterday I played 5 games OTB with a friend of mine. I started by winning the 2 first games but then lost the last 3. One thing I noticed was that due to playing a lot on 2d really messed up my 3d board vision: Long diagonals seemed to not exist and the board was disconnected too. It was like I could only see 2 or 3 areas at a time of 4 area chess board. This let me a little bit upset: I feel that my chess knowledge has increased but I didn't expect this difficulty at all. Now I have chosen the 3d board pieces and a set chess that gives a 3d feel too here in RHP to see if I can take care of that.
I just wanted to know iif anyone noticed that too and how they tackled it.

I have a lot of trouble with computer three d boards. I cannot see the squares behind the chess men and kept droping my man in the wrong square. No three d computer board for me. Two d newspaper only. My my all of that disk space in my program that is used for three d that is just trash too me. I have no trouble using my chess set to play through a game.
Originally posted by gambit3On CM8k I can choose different 3d point of views. Some of them are just like you say but one of them is good. It's like how I see the board on OTB play but it's good enough.
