Is this a trick question haha 8 x 8 is 64 then there's the board itself but there's squares within squares , like put 4 together and there's more squares lol

1 x 1 + 2 x 2 + 3 x 3 + 4 x 4 + 5 x 5 + 6 x 6 + 7 x 7 + 8 x 8 = 204

Read my post again (#4).

There are 204 SQUARES on the chess-board.

64 - 1 x 1 squares.

49 - 2 x 2 squares.

36 - 3 x 3 squares.

25 - 4 x 4 squares.

16 - 5 x 5 squares.

9 - 6 x 6 squares.

4 - 7 x 7 squares.

1 - 8 x 8 square.

Count them yourself.

First of all we need define what square is.

In chess: 
A place where a piece can be.
So we have 64 squares

Square  - A place in city where people can be and walk.
In this case, zero



Total of squares enclosed in a chessboard:
The answer is 204 squares. This is because you have to calculate how many 1 x 1 squares, 2 x 2 square, 3 x 3 squares and so on that are on the chessboard. These numbers end up being the square numbers: 64, 49, 36, 25, 16, 9, 4, 1. These added together equals 204.
