Hi there,

I just joined this site today, and i find it very nice with so many things, should take me just a little time to adapt.

 

My question is, In my games is there a way where i can flip board?

For example Im playing black and i would like to see black pieces as top.Thank you

Odd. My games flip without any input. Try going to your account in your home page. You might have 'always show white at the bottom' checked in your settings.

Thank you, I had to check that box "alyways show white at the bottom"

Now it's fine.

I think the request was to always show white at the bottom, in either case it's under Home->Account->Online Chess Settings -- there's a checkbox under the board style settings for this.

If you click on the "Details" tab there is a tick-box for Flip

Yes -- imporant distinction:  My instructions will affect your turn based games, the details tab can be found in Live Chess.

I didn't want to create a new thread.

In my game, how can I analyze the position? Is there an option to do so, because I didnt find it. I just saw options like "Submit move" "offer draw" "resign" "board settings" "vacation settings" alert settings"

Any option for an analyze board to be found somewhere? Sorry for the trouble guys.

Anyone knows? I would really like to use the analyze board to look at different variations and some moves ahead.

It's only available in turn-based (i.e. not Live) and can be found under the "Moves" tab at the bottom of the pane.

Thank you TheGrobe, I don't know how i missed it :P

Yes I meant turn-based

What i did is pressed ctl+f and typed "moves" and got it. Found it beside details and messages, good nice feature and very helpful.

 You have found your answer, but take it from a computer illiterate old-schooler like myself, there's nothing quite like having a "real" board next to your computer to explore future options.  The 3-D allows (at least me) to see things I might not have otherwise!  Or....maybe I just miss playing live! LOL!

My brother used to flip the board whenever I took his queen.
