		for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++){
			//g.drawLine(0, (d.height / 8)*i, d.width, (d.width / 8)*i);
			//g.drawLine((d.height / 8)*i, 0, (d.width / 8)*i, d.height);
			if(i % 2 == 0){	
				System.out.println();
				g.fillRect((d.width / 8), (d.width / 8) * i, d.width / 8, d.width / 8);
				g.fillRect((d.width / 8) * 3, (d.width / 8) * i, d.width / 8, d.width / 8);
				g.fillRect((d.width / 8) * 5, (d.width / 8) * i, d.width / 8, d.width / 8);
				g.fillRect((d.width / 8) * 7, (d.width / 8) * i, d.width / 8, d.width / 8);				
					
				g.fillRect((d.width / 8) * i, (d.width / 8), d.width / 8, d.width / 8);
				g.fillRect((d.width / 8) * i, (d.width / 8)*1, d.width / 8, d.width / 8);
				g.fillRect((d.width / 8) * i, (d.width / 8)*3, d.width / 8, d.width / 8);				
				g.fillRect((d.width / 8) * i, (d.width / 8)*5, d.width / 8, d.width / 8);				
				g.fillRect((d.width / 8) * i, (d.width / 8)*7, d.width / 8, d.width / 8);
