Russ,flip board please!

The flip board option should be a "must" on a chess site since allows to better visualize your opponent's point of view and helps a lot when calculating his replies,threats,captures,combos in response to my move.
This feature would be very helpful and appreciated.

I couldn't agree more. In fact, I tried to get the same thing implemented in this thread:

Russ, what is the chance of this getting implemented in the future?

I believe I can recall this function to be present in the beta version of the new board. I don't have a clue where that beta version can be found again, though. And I don't know when the new code will be iimplemented for all.

FLIP-BOARD OPTION, YESSSSS!!!

also, how about an enhanced messenger function so one could communicate with their opponent in real time, independent of whose move it is - Im new to this site, am enjoying it very much, but the messenger seems to be the weak link

thanks, rod porter
