This should be an easy question. You are allowed to move pieces and view possible combinations on QA but not during over the bard play. Howwever I do all the analysis in my head for 90% of my moves on QA. It is easier to study a real chess board than a chess diagram. Furhermore, I average more than a minute a move in over the baord tournaments bbt less on QA. I play Higher Quality chess over the board than I do on QA. How about you?

My last OTB game (live game with a person), we used an ipad to play the game. Can that b considered an OTB game?

I can spend up to four hours on a move in QA :/ The OTB games I play are usually 15 min games and more dependant on psychology.

By OTB I mean chess pieces and a chess board, although the board could be vinyl,but not a screen. I find that it is more difficult to analyse on a computer screen than a real chess board. That changes if my anaylis includes actually making moves for both sides.

I would think that if the fellow was in front of you and you played on the same 'board' that's OTB. I don't think the playing tools matter. The game could be on paper with a pencil and eraser! You might get a debate if you are each holding an iPad, but I'd say it is still OTB.
I would say that for the vast majority, their OTB will be significantly better. Obviously that breaks down if you are forced to play faster than your comfort level. Assuming reasonable time, you are immersed in that one game and can think during your opponent's move adding to the continuity.
There is a reason elite players show their skill by playing simultaneous OTB games ... because it's a lot harder to repeatedly jump into a game!

Blutigeroo,
You mave made valid points. Still For me there is a huge difference using chess pieces that I can hold in my hand. I just dont calculate as well looking at a diagram.
