Wouldn't hurt to flip the board some. For some reason every new thing I learn in chess, I see my own opportunities first and only after more practice am I able to see those opportunities for my opponent. Maybe I'm weird, but it happened with tactics, strategic ideas, etc, etc.
I know one young 2200 player (12 years old, how depressing is that??!?) who uses a Monroi and flips the board on the Monroi so he can always see it from his opponent's perspective. I'll sometimes walk around behind my opponent to do the same thing if he's tanking.
Anyway, really interesting game.
