white100_100 =repmat(1, 100, 100);%1-white color
black100_100 =repmat(0, 100, 100);%0-black color
chessboardMatrix = repmat([black100_100 white100_100;white100_100, black100_100], 4,4);
imwrite(chessboardMatrix , 'chessboard.jpg')

Got it using this

    white100_100 =repmat(1, 128, 128);%1-white color
black100_100 =repmat(0, 128, 128);%0-black color
chessboardMatrix = repmat([black100_100 white100_100;white100_100, black100_100], 1,1);
imshow(chessboardMatrix );

M = rem(bsxfun(@plus, 1:8, (1:8).'), 2);

Or since Matlab R2016b:

M = rem((1:8) + (1:8).'), 2);

[EDITED] For your 2x2 grid, this would be the best solution:

M = [1,0; 0,1];

But dynamically:

n = 2;
M = rem(bsxfun(@plus, 1:n, (1:n).'), 2);
% Or: M = rem(bsxfun(@plus, 0:n-1, (1:n).'), 2);
