Two weeks ago I proposed a 45-46 SQUARES CONTEST, to make up for lost time in the small board category, perhaps followed by a 47-48 SQUARES CONTEST next year. Another reason to hold these contests with pairs of numbers is that some numbers are more suitable for chess boards. The number 47 is prime, while on the other hand, 48 gives us both an 8x6 board and a 7x7 board with a missing central square.
