  • Does the title refer to the spot on the stone background or the precarious position of the pawn having walked the plank?

    The "X" support is often used as an indication of the death and being X-ed out.
    The echoes of the pawn as indentation or sculpture emerging out of the stone or drawn in the foreground.
    All are barely present.

    Are you sure this is the Good Spot?
