 Analyzing by flipping/turning the board around |

I've never tried it ...probably for the same reasons as you , however on my actual board at home I do flip the board all the time when analysing past games ... the one's I've usually lost !
It is an option , I guess players who know what they're doing make use of it , but I've only used it here by mistake

I do not do it often, but flipping the board provides a different perspective. It can be useful to see what your opponent sees. I think rating plays a big role. I doubt players over 1800 use it much, but under 1600 should find it very helpful. If your strength is attack, by rotating the board you better perceive what you need to defend against, and vice versa.
