Two points I picked up on this example of the the avante garde school checkering.
The semi-centered layout was obviously added to assist the thumb grip. The more enlightening observation is that I realized I had never before understood the potential multiple dimensional property of skip line checkering. I had previously assumed that the style was limited to skipping entire lines in a regular pattern as is often found on the boring examples produced by people such as Weatherby, Anschutz and Sako. I had never appreciated the complexity possible by varying the spacing of the skipped complete rows and interspersing it with rows where sections of the individual rows are skipped in a random pattern. Every pattern is a one of a kind.
