SOUTH is suddenly white here. It's still correctly black, too. SORTH is the missing white koan.

AKHTBN iff it contains an R or a letter at ±4 from R (which are N and V).

This would be the only pattern I see. Everything else is an arbitrary set of letters that doesn't seem to make nice words, or be at nice distances from each other. If that's not the solution: Test the following three ...

V
Q
W

... and then guess: AKHTBN iff it contains at least one of: R, N, or a white one of those three (Q, V, W).
