You are right! I have an ancient chessboard in my attic. Went to examine it, 
and indeed!  :-)

Did you notice which color is side-ways during play? There's only one direction
of play. Light right corner.
I already tried rotate 90 for one color like 4 days ago, but liked it better the
other way.

Did a new darkplayer color

On the area light orient:

Parse Warning: "orient" can only be used with circular area lights. This area
light is now circular.

If you really want an oriented non-circular is when you use the crossproduct
orientation for any light position. afaik

I'm not so sure, that was the first thing I thought of with this thread 
so I did some googling and from what I found, not really, either they 
rotate quite randomly, or they stay the same in orientation.

Interesting.  I can't remember a chessboard that I've played on made out 
of wood where that wasn't the case.  But it stands to reason that it 
wouldn't be 100% consistent. :-)
