This is a pretty tricky question, as on a 8x8 board you'd think there were 64 squares. You can count 204 only if you include not only 1x1 squares, but 2x2 squares, 3x3 squares, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7 and the big 8x8 square.
There are 64 playing squares on a checkerboard. Checkerboards have 8 rows of 8 squares each, in alternating colors, which are usually black and red. Geometrically speaking, however, there are actually 204 squares on an eight-by-eight checkerboard.
Sixty-four(64) is the total number of squares on a checker board in the United States of America. But not all of them are in use. Specifically, only 32 are used for play.

A standard checkers or chess board has eight rows of eight squares in alternating colors, light and dark, for5 a total of 64 same-sized squares. However, as a trick question, four of these squares may be arranged to be a square (and these overlap). You could have 3x3 squares, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7 squares, and of course the whole board is one big 8x8 square.
There are 204 squares on a traditional checker. There are 64, 1 by 1 squares There are 49, 2 by 2 squares There are 36, 3 by 3 squares There are 25, 4 by 4 squares There are 16, 5 by 5 squares There are 9, 6 by 6 squares There are 4, 7 by 7 squares There is 1, 8 by 8 square To get this all you do is take the center of each square and count down on the board that many squares you can make. The number will be the same for the other side. then you multiply those numbers to get that many squares for that size square.
A checkerboard, and chessboard, consists of 8 rows of 8 columns each for a total of 64 squares.
A standard checkerboard is 8-by-8. On an 8-by-8 board, there are 204 squares, including the ones that overlap.
Eight (8) squares make up one side of a checker board. There is a total of 64 squares. The squares are arranged in eight rows of eight squares each.
If you are speaking only of the squares in which chess pieces move there are 64, 8 rows of 8 spaces each.If you are speaking of the total number of actual squares that could be found and counted within a chess board using the lines provided there are 204.
204.
Number of 1x1 squares= 8*8=64 Number of 2x2 squares= 7x7=49 Number of 3x3 squares= 6x6=36 Number of 4x4 squares= 5x5=25 Number of 5x5 squares= 4x4=16 Number of 6x6 squares= 3x3=9 Number of 7x7 squares= 2x2=4 Number of 8x8 squares= 1x1=1 Total number of Squares= 8^2+7^2+6^2+...+2^2+1^2= 204
I get 204 There are 64 1x1 squares; 49 2x2 squares; 36 3x3 squares; 25 4x4 squares; 16 5x5 squares; 9 6x6 squares, 4 7x7 squares and 1 8x8 square.
