Experimented playing some 15/0 on ICC today with the board reversed, so I was viewing the game from my opponent's perspective. A few games suggest that my results were better than usual. I can instantly try to see what my opponent is trying to accomplish with each move. Then I focus on making the move that my opponent (me from my perspective) would least like to see. Kind of cool. You should try it sometime.

Originally posted by ReverbIt's CC then take your time. Flip board and see what your opponent can do. Take a day and check again. Maybe you missed something...

Originally posted by ReverbI always view my games reversed, i feel like it gives me a better view of what i can do. So always if i play black or white my pieces are always viewed north!
