Chessboard

A chessboard is a game board used to play chess. It consists of 64 squares, 8 rows by 8 columns, on which the chess pieces are placed. It is square in shape and uses two colors of squares, one light and one dark (not always), in a checkered pattern. During play, the board is oriented such that each player's near-right corner square is a light square.
