Differences Between Over-The-Board And Online Chess

for instance, you can't write down your intended move before you play it, as that's considered 'note-taking' -

Really? Because everyone and I mean everyone I play in OTB does this.

This is a rule that's not really enforced, especially at a causal level, but it is technically cheating. If you want to do it, do it, but if your opponent asks you to stop or it's a rated tournament, don't.

These are rated games at Marshall in NYC... I'll have to ask the tournament director next time, but I suspect it won't be enforced as you say.

Some of this advice is outright wrong for the USCF-rated games. There should be a caveat - FIDE only.

Interesting. What would be the difference?

Nobody writes the moves before making them. This was stopped decades ago. There are a few diehard old players that still insist on writing moves before playing them. This is only in the more informal league matches. They would not get away with doing that in a tournament.

There is a procedure for offering a draw, excluding the 50 move rule and 3-fold repetition. It is advised that a player offers a draw in their own turn, then makes their move and writing the '=' symbol. The opponent can then use their turn to consider the draw offer. No verbal response is necessary, a player can decline by simply ignoring the offer and making a move. However, it is polite to acknowledge the request and saying you will think about it, then declining by saying you will play on and making a move, or agreeing and shaking hands to end the game.
The draw offer procedure may seem elaborate and formal, but it stops players interrupting their opponents thinking time during their opponents turn with ill-timed draw offers.

Lastly, talking about the finished game within earshot of others still playing, is not allowed. If players want to review their game, then it is normal to move the chessboard further away or in another room. Talking about a game in chess is called kibbitzing.
