Interesting train of thought,would you speak to an opponent if you were playing over the board.
I dont know weather you can or cannot speak to an opponent in over the board play.???
What is the etiquette on this.?!

Over the board, in a formal situation such as a match or tournament, you're not supposed to speak except to offer a draw -- distracting your opponent is forbidden. If I'm going to get a cup of tea or coffee, I'll ask if my opponent would like some. Doing this immediately after my move, I assume it won't cause any disruption and I've never had anyone seem upset that I asked.

In a social setting, where you're playing against somebody you know, obviously, it's up to the two of you.
