How to flip board?

Sort:

For the articles and news on the front page, how do I flip the board to see it from black's perspective? With the new boards there is no "flip" button, so I don't know what to do.

Click on the icon at bottom left that looks like a magnifying glass. This opens an analysis board where you can flip the board. The analysis board does not display the annotations, but this is the only way that I know to flip the board in the news articles.

First it's important to make sure you're losing, then place one hand between the board and the table.  Then with a quick motion jerk your hand upward.  If you do this right you'll flip the board into the air.

to the staff - why was this feature elimiated when this new format was adopted? Do you plan to add this ability?

Hey all! Sorry about this :( I have personally suggested that we get it added back :)

I like the new chess.com but it is missing the 'board flip' feature. I will use the new site when they add this feature.

 

Thank you.

Staff, how hard would it be to add the 'board flip' feature when playing back other games? It's quite annoying that the new chess.com is missing this most basic yet very necessary feature.

That's very annoying.  What's even worse though is that it's taking this long to get it fixed.  Not using the new chess site until this very basic button is put back.

I sometimes forced to play looking at my black pieces from an upside down perspective! How do I rectify this? New premium member that is not happy with this!

Check your settings and make sure White Always on Bottom isn't on.
