If true, why does this matter? I almost go cross-eyed looking at a position on a board set up incorrectly. You calculate in your head. It is important that in your mind, the square b4 be a dark square, that g6 be a light square etc. This must be consistently so for reliable mental imaging purposes. Ask a master "What colour is the square c6?" You'll get the correct answer in less than a second. Mental calculations are based on always having the square colours the same, game after game. Cheers, Dave
