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".
You almost certainly do too, but the part of our brain that commits things to long term memory is inactive when sleeping. When people recall their dreams, it's at best just the ones that occurred right before waking up. Maybe you're a heavy sleeper and tend to sleep through that window.
