![]() ![]() Unfortunately, you can’t just simply rotate the board counter-clockwise, because then the alignment would be wrong (“light is right” ). So Chapter 1, Section 1 (A1): “En Passant ” would actually begin on the bottommost left black square where the current diagram shows Chapter 8, Section 57 “The Wrong Square / Hang me with Slansky!” Files (the vertical columns) are marked A-H, File A being the furthest left column, and the H-File furthest on the right (once again, this is from white’s perspective, which every standard chess board bases its view from). Ranks (the horizontal rows) are marked 1-8, Rank 1 being the lowest row, or the one closest to the “white” player. The board alignment is correct, but the A-H and #’s are on the wrong sides. ![]() I don’t know if this will affect the overall riddle. It appears the chessboard picture diagram is marked incorrectly. Pazter from contacted me after reading my post and pointed out that I had the numbering incorrect: In my last post about the structure of Louis Armand’s ‘The Combinations’ I wrote about the novel being modeled on a chessboard. ![]()
