checkerboarded

Checkerboarded describes something arranged in an alternating pattern like a checkerboard—typically two colors or types in adjacent squares: The fields were checkerboarded with corn and soybeans.
The term often describes land use patterns viewed from above, or any surface with regular alternating elements: checkerboarded tile floors.
