Well, it's one of those hypothetical things.  Like, "Suppose you're walking down
the street and someone catapults a dead elephant at you...  What kind of
umbrella would you want for protection?"
Maybe we *haven't* looked at a character only chessboard since the ancient days
of "Ed-Chess", but if someone put a gun to our heads and said, "LOOK AT THESE
CHESSBOARDS!" -- well, which one would you like to look at?
