204
= 64 + 49 + 36 + 25 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 1
= (1x1) squares + (2x2) squares +(3x3) squares +(4x4) squares +(5x5) squares +(6x6) squares +(7x7) squares +(8x8) squares
note to zanti3: you obviously did not read my answer first.

Maybe it means total squares....
So you'd work up to bigger squares finally up to the one big one that encompasses all the 64.
So 64 + 49 + 36 + 25 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 204
Try 204.

it is a trick question. There are ALOT of squares on a Chess board.
Think about it, what if you put four small squares together? You get another one. And if you carry on with that, you'll find ALOT more squares.
The biggest square you'll find will be a dimension of 8 high and 8 long.

Hmm... I suppose the answer would be 1+4+9+16+25+36+49+64, which comes to 204. Anybody else get that yet?i

answer is sigma 8 sq
i.e. (8*(8+1)*(2*8+1))/6
= 8*9*17/6
= 204
Total no. of sqs taking into account all sizes including the full board as the one largest sq.

64 small ones, 16 2*2 ones, 4 4*4 ones and one 8*8.
64+16+4+1=85
OK I missed a lot of squares.

I'd say 32 because there are 32 colored squares and there are 32 white.

You have to count the 64 plus all of the 2x2 squares, 3x3, etc. I'm too tired to count them all for you.
