Web UI inconsistency

Hi,
isn't it a bit inconsistent that in the browser during a game in the area below the board where one can see the results of previous games the logged in user is displayed in the upper and the opponent in the lower row? I always get confused when I want to check the score since on the right hand side in the move listing area the opponent is displayed in the upper part, just where (s)he would be “sitting” in real life.
Just my to cents

On the game board, your opponent is on top because it is a rough spatial projection. I guess the thinking was when it comes to scores, people want to see themselves vs the opponent in that order (top to bottom).
