/// Module Two Assignment

/// For this assignment, you will create the pattern of a chess board that is 8 x 8.
/// Use X and O to represent the squares.
///     1.  Create the appropriate nested looping structure to output the characters in an 
///         8 x 8 grid on the screen using Console.Write() or Console.WriteLine() as appropriate.
///     2.  Include a decision structure to ensure that alternate rows start with opposite
///         characters as a real chess board alternates the colors among rows.

///    This is what your output should look like.
///    XOXOXOXO
///    OXOXOXOX
///    XOXOXOXO
///    OXOXOXOX
///    XOXOXOXO
///    OXOXOXOX
///    XOXOXOXO
///    OXOXOXOX

/// Grading Criteria:
///    Used a nested loop
///    Used a decision structure to flip row output
///    Output is correct per above image

Thanks! I was struggling with the pattern, I've created a pyramid with those X and O's :)
