Yeah, it definitely needs to be color coded.

The other thing that would bother me is that if you're playing black, you have to play upside down. I wonder if there would be a way to "flip the board".

Probably could make a board on another sheet with a formula that points to the opposite side of the board

I can think of 1½ ways to do that that wouldn't involve VBA.

They WOULD be a nightmare though.

I think sheets will let you flip the text completely. Although then issues with using mouse when looking at it from that side
