Squares with sides of:
1 unit length = 8 x 8 = 64
2 unit length = 7 x 7 = 49
3 unit length = 6 x 6 = 36
4 unit length = 5 x 5 = 25
5 unit length = 4 x 4 = 16
6 unit length = 3 x 3 = 9
7 unit length = 2 x 2 =4
8 unit length = 1 x 1 = 1
Total 204 squares

204
1x1 squares = 64
2x2 squares = 49
3x3 squares = 36
4x4 squares = 25
5x5 squares = 16
6x6 squares = 9
7x7 squares = 4
8x8 squares = 1
1+4+9+16+25+36+49+64 = 204

If you're using the rule that a square is equal length on each side, and allowing for the possiblity of multiple squares adding up to a larger square....
then I would say that there are 113 possible squares on a chess board. That is if my calculations are correct.

about 64

i say its 205 all in all...
since:
8x8=64
7x7=49 6x6=36 5x5=25 4x4=16 3x3=9 2x2=4 1x1=1
64+49+36+25+16+9+4+1=204
204 plus the board it self which is definitely a square too...
so 204+1=205

Sarath M is definately right.
If the question had stated "How many 1x1 squares are there on a chess board?" the answer would 64.
