Learn > Practice playing as black

I've been researching for quite some time ... I apologize if the question is easy ...

When I select Learn and then Practice, it has me as white against Maximum. I've tried the custom button but it won't allow me to be black instead. I finally found where I can reverse the board but it puts me on top still as white.

Help says it has a '?' on every screen for assistance but there isn't one on the Practice view. This website is so User friendly in all other respects, so I must be blind! Thank you for reading my request!

BTW, I had a 99.1 game just now! It was only like 9 moves but 99? I usually run mid 70's! It really gave me a boost! wink

The 'reverse' icon is here on the layout (reverse icon.jpg) but it doesn't flip properly - it just puts me on top STILL AS WHITE instead of making me black on the bottom like all other boards on layouts. Also, I'm used to always being on the bottom when viewing!

Laura in Support helped me (I had asked them first). Go to Learn > Analysis and flip the board there! Then at bottom right, select bullseye (Practice vs Computer). Support on this website is incredible.

I just found out from watching Epic Chess on YouTube, that CTRL-X flips the board colors!

Oooops! It works on regular boards but still doesn't properly flip colors you're playing when you select Learn > Practice. It flips you to the top position instead. Still, it's a good shortcut to know!
