    Would you like to see the orientation of the ingame chess boards rotated?

    Many have said that the ingame orientation of side to side is unpleasant, and they would prefer for it to be oriented up and down instead.

    What are your thoughts?

    My only worry is that someone will have to play "upside down".

    Unless its possible to code it to show two ways; White on top then close and when opened black on top.

    This way each person can play with their pieces at the bottom.

    I don't mind playing upside down. Anything is better than sideways tho. As I enjoy playing the game of chess. Could of sat there at the table there for awhile and played. Would even be nice to have a few tables on top of bank just to play while having people around. You know like bank sitting and having a convo, but able to actually do something while bank sitting.

    You can page in game and request a chess board. They're mobile so you can set up a game anywhere :D

    On test the battle chest arena (new small one on the roof) is impossible to play once a few pieces move to the center of the board.

    Top down, it's hard to even read like that. Too bad you can't have opposing views of the board depending on your color.

    Why not just move the pieces on a real chess board at the same time, then you can look at it however you want.

    Because playing actual physical chess at work would be a bit inappropriate

    That's actually what I do! I had such a hard time playing Jupiter one night I couldn't stand it. So I setup my real chess board on my desk in my iPad spot and replicated all the moves!

    Got my own office :p but the windows are big and not covered so it would be hard to explain.

    "SIRI, what's the best move to counter king 's pawn from d2 to d4?"

    Haha j/k. I know you wouldn't ask SIRI for help. We all know she'd just make ya lose!

    Where's the option for "we should all be playing Go instead"?
