| Dec 11, 2019 at 17:56 | comment | added | Will | @eagle275 fair point that the bottom right white square rule implies a player position, although I think it's still a stretch to say that the laws describe the player positions... | |
| Dec 11, 2019 at 15:40 | comment | added | eagle275 | @Will as far as OP wrote himself - the players are sitting on 2 specific sides - which are described (remember the part with a white square bottom right) and even when playing from "above" in 99 of 100 cases you play figures from the bottom up, which in most cases happens by driving the tiles with a mouse move away from you .. | |

| Dec 11, 2019 at 10:16 | comment | added | Will | @eagle275 the FIDE laws don't prescribe where a player should be in relation to the board either (and indeed probably the majority of modern chess games are played with the player viewing the board from "above", on a screen, rather than sitting on one side of it) | |

| Dec 10, 2019 at 13:02 | comment | added | eagle275 | no .. "front" is defined as direction of the "battlefield" chessboard - away from you, the player. | |
| Dec 10, 2019 at 11:38 | comment | added | Magma | "Front is meant to be the next square that the pawn could normally advance to": As I quoted, the next square the pawn could advance to is already defined as the square in front of the pawn, so your suggestion would be a circular definition. | |
