Vision puzzles - board orientation,

Sort:

If I play the vision puzzles as white/black, how can I tell whether the board orientation is from black or white's perspective? Seems like there should be a visual cue so you know if are playing as black or white

In this example, A1 is clearly the top right square. But in others it is the bottom left.

You have to set the options and show the coordinates. If you don't want to do that then select to only play as white or black instead of Random.

If you didn't choose a color, having it as random, it will flash the square in the color of your orientation.

 

In this screen shot, black side is at the bottom, since it's asking for black a8.

Ah, I never picked up on that.

Brilliant, I hadn't spotted that before. Thanks! A nice touch, but a bit too subtle I feel. But helpful to know for sure :-)
