But what tiles are adjacent to 10,10 ? 10,11 and 10,9 for sure. But on the
right side ? 11,10 for sure and one of the 11,9 or 11,11. Which one
depends on 'oddnes' of tile. I suppose that it is just (x+y)%2 == 0, but
when you add such check everywhere it will stop to be readable. 
Of course it is not a major problem, just an annoyance.
