When you play someone in person, is it permitted under the rules to turn the board around to see it as your opponent sees it?
Is there anyway to block that ability on here? If it's not permitted under the rules, why allow it here? I assume that it must be permitted under the rules...
Please comment.

only thing:
if you annoy your opponent, he/she can ask a TD to make you move, in which case, you have to back off and watch the board from his side at a distance...

Originally posted by AThousandYoungWhen I have a very interested game here at RHP, I usually set up the position on a board on my table. There I can see the board form any angle, I can touch the pieces withut having to move them, I can do pretty much whatever I want to. This is correspondence chess.
I thought Quakers weren't allowed to use computers...
But if I do the same thing in a tournament game over the board, then I will be disqualified in a jiffie.
So if RHP gives me the possibility to turn the board on the screen I just thank Russ for this.
