In “Expected Empty Chess Squares”, how is the clipping k at 331/330 logic working ? what is the rationale behind it ?

This was just a simulation problem, for a fixed n, if we increase k, the expected value converges to a particular constant. For odd and even values the convergence is different, hence that condition.
