There are 64 squares on a Chess board. Since a chess board is composed of 64 individual squares, you can arrange any 4 of them into a larger square of its own. This larger "square" would be a 2x2 square. With this type of progression and with a mix of configurations there are 204 "squares" (as opposed to "spaces") on the board beginning with the single square space up to the single large square of the entire board itself. This is the mix: 1 8x8 square

4 7x7 squares

9 6x6 squares

16 5x5 squares

25 4x4 squares

36 3x3 squares

49 2x2 squares

64 1x1 squares

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

No. There are 64 squares on the board, each with it's own name.
