As you can see with this random picture I found with google all pieces are right-side up. In Rooks keep, black seems to be upside down, which is pretty confusing.

The best way to make this work would be to make the symbols always face the players camera

Something like this?

The Square is the board, the circle the camera rotation.
The red indicates the area in which the pieces will be rotated 180 degrees to fit the players perspective. The white area would the threshold, so you'll have to from red to red in order for the pieces to rotate. This should give some flexibility at which angle you want to play without having to worry about the orientations of the pieces changing at an inconvenient moment.
