How do I "flip the board?"

Avatar of chessguitar

I like looking at the games of other members here on this site. However, when I open a game, I'm not always seeing the board from my "hero's" point of view. Lets say I want to see a players perspective from black on the bottom as I would see it in my own games, yet white is always on the bottom. 

 

I'm using chess.com on the computer, not on the app. I'm not sure if the app has this capability or not.

 

Thanks in advance for any insight into this matter!

@rychessmaster1, I honestly feel like the dumbest man regarding this issue...I don't see where "flip" or a "flip button" is...I've been looking, but I can't find it!

I just checked again--there is no flip button that I can see...I looked on the app and it looks like there is a flip button, but I rarely use the app.

bottom of the game-board, there is an icon, far left.... .... it looks like a magnifying glass superimposed over a chessboard(analysis) ... ..... 

click on that and you find the flip option....

Damn, true that: you have to go to the analyze board so you get a flip option when looking at other's games. I guess they never included a flip button because they assume not so many players will look at other's games. And it's true for me: when I want to see a game, I go to my Chessbase and select masters games with the openings I play, or when I look at an ongoing game live on 24 thingie, there is the option there. I never was curious about the games on here, that are way sloppier than the real games... tongue.png

That depends on the interface.

I think I figured it out

hover over the little space between the game and the chat area and then look at the little thing under the gear at the top right corner of the game
