    There are many more different-sized squares on the chessboard.
    The complete list of answers is shown below:

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

    Therefore, there are actually 64 + 49 + 36 + 25 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 squares on a chessboard! (in total 204).
