I agree with you. If you play too many times on motitors chessboard, you risk to not play well on real chessboard. The fact is that chess is a play where movements are important. Seeing a move on a line in 2d is not the same as in 3d. Some year ago, i've played on a very big chessboard, on a square in the middle of a town; i was winning the game but i haven't seen a stale because... a bishop was physically too far!!! ;-))) As suggested by some other guy, you must balance playing on monitors and playing on real chessboard. But, even doing so, maybe it is hard to remember openings if you study them on 2D and then play on 3D. This is harder if you have an image-type-memory but is easier if you remember openings by moves. I think that there are some problem even if you play against chess-program. You'll get more precision but you can loose some opportunity. With human people you can try some know bad moves or openings, because you know that the opponent don't knos that line of playing (or has little strength). You cannot do it with programs. Some times you can play moves that don't gains a piece but an opponent's error. In real playing you can do that move... and maybe the opponent's make that error. With chess programs you cannot, so you risk to not to try the moves with humans. Ciao!!! Stefano Gemma
