Is it true that online chess players are far better than anyone in real life?

@NinjaChess9909 well it depends on your internet connection premove doesn't take any time if you have a good connection

My connections is bit bad at night and premove sometime takes half a second

on around 8 to 11 a.m my connection is good and premove takes 0.2 sec to nothing
Yeah my internet rarely is bad because I often play close to my router and in those rare times when my internet IS bad my internet is completely dead (Blackout, Power surge, aftershock etc.)
But I can understand for those who's internet is often bad because I know how it feels to have to forefit a game because your internet is super bad.
I have never played blitz OTB but from the videos it seems that it is also about hand speed, how u move your pieces, how fast you punch your clock etc. And I see games where the pieces are all over the board and not neatly in their squares and that doesn't look like a lot of fun. Maybe I just have OCD.
