Color blind vs feature blind?

In Response To: Color blind vs feature blind? (Rich Munitz)

Something like that, but not exactly that.

"Standard" way is to have bottom player as black and opponent as white. That's color scheme in all books that I have.

With "reversed B/W" like in your example, I think many players (who have read books) will be confused and won't at first notice that bottom player is white.

I hope to see that changed in XG2.
