This is the best place to ask this. Masters, kindly tell me how do I start seeing a board from my opponent's perspective. Frequently what is happening is that I am playing my best move, but I fail to see how that is benefiting the opponent. Turns out it is a grave weakness that I probably introduced by playing that particular move, which is plain to see for my opponent, but not apparent to me. When I flipped the board, I could see the weakness, but not from my side.
Kindly tell me how do I rectify this. Only then I can improve on my game.
Thanks in advance!
use feature flip boards in games and analysis
Flip the board
I didn't know I had the option. Will try :) Thank you!
I want to develop that view, without flipping though. In real life, I will have to see the board from my end!
Flipping board during live games is not allowed. At least, I don't have the option.
Flip the board using your mind
#5 You should be able. I can flip the board in any game. The button is on the top left corner of the move record table.
And yes, I do think that playing once in a while some games with flipped board is a good exercice to enhance your board vision. Play casual games if you don't want to alter your classification.
Thank you! Yes, it is available, I was looking at the bottom of that pane.

Some players in over the board chess stand up after their move and then stand behind their opponent's back to see the board from his perspective.
Bronstein used to silently reason with himself in the language of his opponent.
A very good practice is to check your intended move is no blunder before you play it. After you have thought about your move and you came up with your move to play, ask yourself: "consider my move played on the board, what will my opponent do?"
A great help is to enable move confirmation in your profile: think about your move, play it, check it is no blunder, confirm.
