A (n+1)×(n+1) squared chess board  contains (n+1)^2  squares.    and :    −Its diagonal contains n+1 squares  −Its upper part contains n+(n−1)+  (n−2)+...+3+2+1 = S_n  squares  −Its lower part contains 1+2+3+...+  (n−2)+(n−1)+n = S_n  squares    ⇒ (n+1)^2  = (n+1)+2S_n   ⇒ S_n  = (((n+1)^2 −(n+1))/2) = ((n(n+1))/2)

S_(100) =((100)/2)(1+100)=50×101=5050
$$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{100}} =\frac{\mathrm{100}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{100}\right)=\mathrm{50}×\mathrm{101}=\mathrm{5050} \\ $$

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ..... + 100 = x  100 + 99 + 98 + 97 + ..... + 1 = x  101 + 101 + 101 + 101 + ..... + 101 = 2x  101 ∙ 100 = 2x  ((101 ∙ 100)/2) = x  101 ∙ 50 = x  5050 = x  So, we have  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ..... + 100 = 5050
