Re: Board orientation

>From the point of view of the player moving anti-clockwise, the home board
will be on the right; from the point of view of the player moving clockwise,
it will be on the left.  Please explain how one could orient the board so
that this orientation could be any different; i.e., so that the player
moving anti-clockwise would have the home board to his left or the player
moving clockwise would have the home board to his right?  I can't seem to
envision it, and, therefore, don't understand what either of you are talking
about.  Thanks.
