OTB vs. Online: Craven vs. Bold?

I'd be surprised if anyone plays the same online as face-to-face. And most of those play better online, I suspect. All of the things mentioned here so far are contenders.

At the risk of boring people from saying something for the bazillionth time here, I think fatigue is the biggest problem at weekend tournaments. You're not sleeping in your own bed. (And those close enough to commute have just that -- a commute.) You're on a schedule which doesn't match your typical one. Your mind is racing when you lay in bed and try to get to sleep. (And this spills over to during sleep.) You're eating at different times than normal and often different foods. Of course everyone is in the same boat but some are better able to cope so it's not an equal penalty. In either case, though, the absolute error rate suffers.
