I suppose you watch your own matches. Then you'll see yourself going
down from 24 to 1. Just fine, isn't it? Why should your opponent go in
the same direction?

If there are some that don't like it, an option is always nicer. But I
still would like to see the change rather in the game record window,
so that the moves of both players coincide with the board numbers. How
would you change the board numbers? On both sides from 1 to 12 or from
13 to 24, or both ways? Only the latter would make any sense.
