Which do you prefer?:

• a) Leave the pieces in the diagrams the way they are and continue flipping the board.  votes: 5

• b) Make it so that the pieces in the diagrams are all facing up, but don't flip the board. votes: 5

both symmaltaniously.

b)

 I would if I could, but I can't, which is why I posted this poll.

I kind of not understand what you want. A further a detail might be helpful so that I can choose what to vote. Thanks.

a

In general, I'm for flipping (option a). However, I've been wondering for some time if Zillions of Games might be useful for these forum games. I tried using it (and a graphics program) to make some board diagrams for Capablanca Chess:

Of course, Zillions of games has it's drawbacks. I'm not terribly familiar with the game, but it doesn't seem easy to make any diagram you want, so we might end up needing to make zrf files for any game we'd want to use this way. I'm not sure how I would make a zrf file for Upgrade Chess.

whatever is easier, but I prefer a

i perfer b

this way it is easier to keep track of positions and notations

 In the diagrams we use for the variant games (the ones I make, not the ones that chess.com provides) the pieces that are not on the move are upside down. I'm asking if you want to keep it that way, or if you want all of the pieces to be facing up, but with no board flipping.

Thanks for the explanation. I am in favour of (a)

no board flipping, please

Note that in the case of a tie, (a) will win because it requires less effort on my part, whereas for (b) I would need to change everything.

I prefer B, it's how most other sites are set. If I am understanding this correctly.

I might suggest keeping everything as it is except stop flipping.

I personally don't care so much how the pieces are orientated, I just find the flipping confusing

Hi oinquarki, dont you think its time to close this poll.  It was been more than a week.  I believe its time for decision now. :)

Well, then I better put in my vote for option A before the poll closes.

there are sixty members and only ten votes. I think we can allow a couple more weeks to see if any one else wants to vote.
