Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnuchess
I have selected black for human. The board always starts out with black on top and white on bottom, then switches.
It's not too bad when it's a new game. But it's very difficult to see my position when resuming a game.
I'm using black because I'm trying to improve my game and I want to see what the program is trying to do so I can react to it.
