OTB (over the board) ratings refer to games played face-to-face against your opponent. An example would be a FIDE rating.
Ok thanks! and also define me these things
-FIDE
-USCF
-BCF
-National
I think the answer is that FIDE is making yourself a little known with the chess community, then USCF a step up, then BCF is another step up, and national being a grand master. Correct me if I'm wrong. (Google did not give me answers for this, maybe someone else knows the true meaning?)
um fide is he international chess federation uscf is us chess federation bcf idk and national I need context

Two people sitting at a table across from each other with a board and pieces playing the game are playing OTB, over the board.

This was already explained 4 years ago.
I asked my grandpa, who was one of the best players in the world in his prime, and he says USCF is for beginners, FIDE is for when you beat all the USCFs and UFC is when you compete for the WC title. Not many people get to UFC. BCF is just for playing with your friends and national is when playing opponents from your country.
