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.
