D.5 Already Taken

• The letters on the dark squares and the letters on the light squares form different steps of the puzzle.
• The numbers follow a path already taken, but including squares of both colours.
• Use the first digit of each number as an index in the corresponding name. That gives you the name of someone who got a number, but not the most appropriate one. Who did get it?
