WHITE CENTAUR and dots marking the "safe squares" for a BLACK KING.

This game is a fine example of developing a single theme. One way of measuring the Centaur's strength is to ask the question: "Where can I place my King on the board and still be safe from a check by the Centaur next move?" Not many squares. Note: if this board had a "zero row", then its dot pattern would be the same as the one on the 8th row.
