Black/White OTB swap

[sar888]

Would anyone know if it’s possible today (or on the roadmap for future) that we can select to swap White/Black sides for OTB play?

Currently if we set up black on white side, of course the squares remain purple because the board is looking for particular pieces in particular spots. For OTB its not a big deal, but if we play multiple games with AI assistance we need to keep physically spinning the board.

While we can keep spinning the board just fine, it would be pretty cool to select from the menu to swap white/black sides so we don’t need to physically spin the board in a limited kinda awkward space, and the charging cable (that is cable-managed for neatness) can remain connected.

I can’t think of any reason why to do that. You would take the Queens there own color square away? They would be mad… Or would you just swap Kings and Queens positions? I really don’t understand why.

If you want to easely rotate the board look at this (I use one for ex.)

This 12" lazy susan is great for spinning the board quickly when a game starts

I spent $13 on this lazy susan and i place the board on it so when i get paired with someone online i can quickly spin the board around without knocking pieces over. I thought i might not like that the board can swivel at any moment, but it actually stays still while playing a game. Just thought i’d share it with the community. 12 Inch Heavy Duty Rotating Swivel With Steel Ball Bearings Stand for Monitor/TV/Turntable/Lazy Susan

For the charging and rotation while playing I made a post about a powerbank. Tested and approved.

Powerbank to charge the ChessUp 2

Hi all For portability and because of all the posts about lights flashing when charging (because of noise from bad charge brick or lightbulb around the board). I bought and tested a power bank. This has a number of advantages. First and foremost, you can charge anywhere, even if you don’t have a socket nearby. And with the Lazy Suzan you can charge and still easily rotate your chessboard, which is not possible or easy with wired charging at a socket. This works very well. The power bank is Ama…

I am using the lazy susan solution myself. Works like a charm

Only problem with the lazy Susan is the potential to inadvertently move a piece when you turn it on your turn. I make sure to make the first move from intitial position and only rotate in their move.
