One more PGN question

Hey chess.commers, how you all doing?

I have a pgn file loaded with tactical problems so what I'm after is pretty simple really. All I want is a program, pgn viewer, that will automatically flip the board for whoever is to move so that the person to move is always going UP the board, black or white, you know like in real games! I have been using COW (chess openings wizard) but even this great program lacks that one thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated in over the board play in 1 move per 3 days!!!

ps, the pgn viewers listed in the download area do not seem to do the job.

Download Arena.

Typically CTRL+F does the trick.

Cheers

Thanks mate but it's not really what I was after. I have settled for Fritz 12 and that doesn't do what I want, but its ok. I just thought it would be a really cool idea to get the program to flip the board for the side to move on the bottom, somewhat like chess mentor does. Maybe I'll learn to program myself oneday lol.

It would be pretty easy to add this feature to ChessX but personally I would find it pretty irritating to have the board flip all the time and because of that I wouldn't do it. I think there is a reason you don't see this implemented.

Hey String-Rider.  It is impossible that in Fritz12 you can not flip the board, imposible.  Unfortunately I do not own Fritz12 so I can not figure it out for you.  I have Shredder, and CTRL+F does it, in chessbase also CTRL+F does it.   Sometimes there is a little circle at the bottom of the board where each half is black and white, clicking on that also flips the board.  Do some little inspection, it is most likely right in front of your eyes.  Cheers.

@LikeTheLake: you didn't read what he wants. He wants the side to move to be on the bottom of the board automatically. So without doing ctrl-F.

Hey kikvors.  My apologies then.  Never seen that happening automatically.

Hi, Like The Lake, sorry for the confusion mate. Yes Fritz 12 will allow me to flip the board by pressing a button, that is what I have settled on and had been using.

@ JamesCoons. You maybe right about it being annoying, but for me, I would find it very useful. I have never understood the reason for the board to be shown from whites perspective when it is black to move. It's the same thing with chess problems in print. I hate it, lol.

Cheers!
