hi,

A board lip option, whereby you can view the board from White's perspective or Black's, would be very useful. That way one can train and look at a problem form the defender's point of view and not just the attacker. very useful if you want to develop the ability to check whether a move is safe.

if other users agree, please tell the admin as well!
all the best,

b

Hi,

If you go to the "Problem Board" tab on your preferences, there is a
"Board Orientation" option (the last one on that tab). You can choose either Player at Bottom or Player at Top.
If you choose player at top , then you'll always be looking at the board from your opponent's point of view.

Alternatively you can use the board flipper icon in the bottom left of all boards (assuming you have board co-ordinates turned on) that can be used to flip the board at any time.

Regards,
Richard.
