Something doesn't work with this diagram. Maybe it is because only 2 colors are used, and a third one, neutral, should be used. Or because the triangular/losange doesn't work fine and something else has to be imagined.
I see the comments. It needs a lot of imagination to visualise something else and tell our brain that what we see is not right. What I see is simply a 66-cell board, where c1-b2-a3-4 is a diagonal, as well as 4-b5-c6-d7-e8, both being dark.
And a8-a7-a6-a5-4 is a column simply ending in 4. Like h1-h2-h3-h4-5, ending in 5.
That board only shifts the column (a to b, b to c, etc.) at the middle line. It doesn't change the color of the diagonals at all.
I understand the idea behind, but I think it needs to be worked more.
