The opponent's pieces are shown upside down

It started an hour ago. The problem only affects the variants.

Firefox Mozilla 83.0 for Manjaro Linux

Mine is fine. Did you try playing on other browser like Chrome or Edge? I’m using Chrome right now and it is fine

I've just tried Google Chrome. Same problem as before. Edgs is not available for Linux.

BTW, as it was the first time I accessed chess.com using Chrome, there were no cookies to be deleted, or cache to be cleaned, that could have caused the issue.

Problem solved.

I had accidentally pressed the Q key, which is a shortcut:

   Q Pieces face cente

Ah,4 pc hotkey still here

this happened to me and the q key fixed it, Thanks

Why don't they make chess like this? isn't it more logical? isn't this how it looks in real life chess?

Not really. Physical pieces don't look any different on a physical board. They're not really oriented differently.

Maybe they're from Australia? ;)

Many people don't play over-the-board chess. For you maybe but in the grand scheme of things 10% is smaller than 90% ...

Actually, in some ways they are. There should be a setting for knights. What your setting is impacts how the Knight look both on your board and your opponents. There should be 6 options:

Forward

Inward

Outward

Both left

Both right

Cockeyed

how do i get my chess pieces to look like this?

It's only an option on the Variants server as far as I'm aware

In the settings, turn off "Pieces face center".

Why would you want this?

idk

so i can suffer

I am such a bot, how did I forget about torturing yourself. Common newbie mistake.
