Caro-Kann books from black side of the board?

Are there any books on the Caro-Kann that have diagrams reversed, from the black side of the board?  I play C-K as black and have a hard time orienting myself if I have to look at diagrams from the white side of the board.  It confuses poor me. meh.png  There should be electronic books where you get to look at the board from either side.  Do such exist?

I think it would be odd to have a book on the CK from white’s perspective, but what do I know, lol. I can tell you Lars Schandorff’s book is from black’s perspective. 😎

The Schandorff book (GM Rep 7) I have is like most others.. white on bottom

Oh my goodness! I take back what I said. I just looked in my book and can’t believe it. I guess my mind has already made the mental adjustment to be accustomed to having black on top that I stopped realizing black was not on the bottom. I suppose that’s a good thing. It’s the same thing when I see signs in Spanish. My brain makes me see the English translation. Weird but true.

You might find some collections from books in the libraries section. If so, you can flip the boards that way.

Chess.com has a practice you may already be familiar with under the learning tab, "Vision". If you consistently practice Vision your familiarity with the notation increases, could help you when reading chess notation in books. GL
