<p>
    The blue borders should coincide with light blue squares, like this:
    <span style="display: inline-block; background-color: lightblue; border: solid rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.5); width: 19px; height: 19px;"></span>.
    There should be none of this:
    <span style="display: inline-block; background-color: lightblue; width: 25px; height: 25px;"></span>
    or this:
    <span style="display: inline-block; border: solid rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.5); width: 19px; height: 19px;"></span>.
