Inverted games.

Help


For going on a couple months my black games are always inverted throughout the whole game, is this a button fix I could have accidentally hit? I’m pretty much used to it now but keep trying to move the other persons white pieces when first clicking on to a game which is a little aggravating.

There is an icon at the top right corner of the board to flip the board, but you shouldn't have to do that to get your side of the board at the bottom of the screen. I have only ever seen the color I am playing at the bottom, so the situation you describe doesn't sound right at all.

(Unless there is a setting option that has been recently added.)

Yes, same here, I’ve never seen it happen before. The only thing that bothers me is constantly clicking the white pieces thinking that’s my color😁. It does make me have to look at what I would do if I were white which I usually don’t do much. Thanks for answering.

You've probably set "White always on bottom" from board settings.

Click the gear icon above the submit move button to turn off.

Hi, this is all I can change under board settings. Does it matter that I play on an I pad?

Go to one of your games (doesn't matter it it is your move or not)

Above the 'refresh board' or 'submit move' (depending on whether it is your move or not you will see (to the right) a cog symbol with "Board" underneath.

Click on that symbol and a number of options will come up; below the "Max board size " option you will see "White always on bottom" - make sure this is grey; if it is blue then click on it and it will turn grey.

Hope this helps

Yes this fixed it, I had misunderstood Russ, thank you to both.
