Problem Board
	Chapter 8. User Preferences

Options in this section are relevant to the Problem boards, that is the Tactic and Endgame solving boards. Some of the options are only available with the old preferences panel available on pages using the old board UI, such as the game database and endgame training page. For pages with the new board UI such as tactics, playing and guess the move, some of these settings are available directly on the board settings by clicking on the settings icon in the top left of the board.

Enabling this option shows the row and column identifiers around the edge of the board. It also enables the 'board flipper' icon in the bottom left which allows the user to flip the orientation of the board on demand.
