procedure Initialize (Self : in out Board) is
begin
   Reset(Self);
   Insert(Side_Corners, 2, (1, 3));
   Insert(Side_Corners, 4, (1, 7));
   Insert(Side_Corners, 6, (3, 9));
   Insert(Side_Corners, 8, (7, 9));
end Initialize;

Yes, you need one because Side_Corner_Maps must be instantiated at
"library level".  This prevents dangling references to nested types.
