I’m sure this is a beginner question, but I’ve playing chess solely online(mostly on my phone) for the past 6 years.

I went to my first weekly casual chess event that’s hosted at a bar in the city I am in. Everyone was super nice and I can’t wait to go back - even though I only played one game and got my ass handed to me.

Anyways, I feel really dumb looking at a board in real life. Like not calculating correctly and not having the same “board vision” that I normally would have when playing online. Maybe just cuz I am so used to looking at a top down virtual version of the game?

Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips or is it just something I maybe need to practice more in real life to get comfortable playing this way?
