[Poor, Edmund W]

I think you mean, in Western chess's main variant, a chessboard has 64
squares. There's also fairy chess, 3-d chess, etc.

And in Korean/Chinese chess, the pieces aren't placed on squares at all!
Rather, on the points where the lines of a 10 x 9 grid intersect.

Bonus question: How many squares on a Go board?
