Question: I am trying to create a simulated chess board.(Alternate black/white squares)

I have written some code, which you will hopefully find useful.  All you need is a PictureBox called picBoard, with the Left and Top properties set to 0.  Then add this code:

Private Sub Form_Resize()
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, blck As Boolean, x As Single, y As Single, c As Long, x2 As Single, y2 As Single

picBoard.Width = ScaleWidth
picBoard.Height = ScaleHeight
picBoard.Picture = LoadPicture("")

x2 = picBoard.ScaleWidth / 8
y2 = picBoard.ScaleHeight / 8

For i = 1 To 8
    For j = 1 To 8
        blck = Not blck

        If blck = True Then
            c = vbBlack
        Else
            c = vbWhite
        End If

        picBoard.Line (x, y)-(x + x2, y + y2), c, BF

        y = y2 * j
    Next j

    blck = Not blck
    x = x2 * i
    y = 0
Next i
End Sub
