You could have an 8x8 two dimensional array where the value of each element represents the colour of the corresponding square.  A simple way to set the colour in the checkerboard pattern is to use mod on the array index (ie. if the index is odd the colour is white, otherwise it's black).  Once you've done that all you need is simple user input and conditional statements.
