How many squares of alternating colors are there on a Chessboard?

Great thinking Game

great game

To play chess with any degree of success requires an intellect far above mine. I avoid the game.

it had to be a square number!

just not good at it thank God my children are Wiz players

if you like chess.. be sure not to miss Queens Gambit on Netflix

I used to play chess on video games, I had to stop because I could spend 10 minutes thinking about a move then still lose it to a computer that makes a move in a microsecond

I read that when Genghis Kan conquered China he asked for tribute . One grain of rice on the first chessboard square , doubled on the second , doubled again on the third and so on up to square 64 . The total was apparently China’s rice production for 10 years ! Probably just apocryphal .

Player #25874027, but possible! Checkmate is from Chez Mat meaning it is finished in Arabic. I learned that in a trivia game a long time ago. I don't know anything about chess, but have always wanted to learn!

Great games was taught by my father about 73 years ago. I have been playing ever since. Just love the game.

I SOMETIMES PLAY CHESS WITH MY GRANÐSON AND USUALLY LOSE. ITS ENJOYABLE BUT VERY FRUSTRATING.

I love all games, but chess is the only game that increases my heart rate when I think I'm on a winning gambit.

I know one thing that’s crucial to the game is never move twice on one piece on opening. Lol.

I love the game!. It’s one of my favorite games to play. Although, I haven’t played in quite some time. I must admit I was a pretty darn good chess-player 😸. I found it not as difficult to play as thought it would be. I learned in no time flat. it takes a great deal of concentration and focus while you’re playing it. And yes, it does indeed take a lot of strategy to win against an opponent. But I always said/say “if you’re going to play Chess or any other games “Always remember to enjoy playing the game, enjoy learning all you can about the game and it’s strategies, strengths, weaknesses, bc it’ll come in handy when going up against your opponent and remember to just to enjoy the game and just some Good ‘Ol Fashion FUN!!”. Have Fun Everybody”that’s the name of the game!. 😃

it's a difficult game to master

the modern version of this question would be: "how many cells are on a chess board"

A delightful film, based on a true story, child prodigy chess movie is "Searching for Bobby Fisher" (1993) Well worth the time.

I love the game, the only problem is when you play online games and you can never distinguish if you are playing with a computer or not.

I do like the game. it has a lot of strategy moves. every time I play with my grandson ilose. I'm still learning what figure does what. the game is very challenging and takes much focus.

Chess is not only my love but it's my world.....

Kola98, dear it is not 8by 8 board.it is 8 by 8 squires on a single printed board.

Player #13023389, I'm a self taught chess player . played for at least two years before winning my first game. I also left school with no academic qualifications. So you don't need a high academic intelligence to play to a good standard (not grand master that another level entirely) . just a little dedication.

Bobby f. was the best of all time.

SOS, Queen is the strongest piece, King is the most important. If the King is killed the battle is lost no matter how big army you still have 😉

If the Queen is the most important piece why is checkmate against the opponent's King? I would've thought it would be against the opponent's Queen. Easy to see I'm not a chess player😉

I can play checkers, chess is for people who r way more knowledgeable than me. Debby

I read a quote by someone that talking with President Obama was like playing three dimensional chess. Smart man's game; smarter President. I miss him!!

no. of variation of a chess match is more than all no. of stars in universe!!!!

i used to play chess but i didn't count its square

The Indian game

I hve played the chess many times but doesn't count the squares of the board 😅

Kola98, answer only the squared number

I just beated my brother once in the game, it's so good game 😊

8x8 board
