Hey there 
I would have to give this map a -1. While the map does follow a checkerboard pattern, there's nothing else about the map that really makes it a checkerboard. There's also no checkers, which I think would have been a really cool addition! There's also similar maps such as Chess, as well as other board games...I'm not quite sure if there is a Checkers map already or not.
A lot of the parkour is floating, and it is not varied (using a lot of different blocks to create the jumps) or mixed (using these blocks in a different order and at different angles so that you can't discern the map by sections of a type of jump) at all. Try to incorporate a lot of different jumps using weird blocks and not just ladders and carpet fences, as well as normal blocks. You can look at recently accepted maps to get a better idea of what map judges are looking for!
As far as your submissions here on the forums, I see you were a little confused about the plot warp. This simply means you would put what number of plot for you it would be. EXAMPLE: /plot v K1llz0n35 1
Please note that while I am a staff member, I am not a map judge, so I have no influence over your map submission. I just like to give feedback on map reviews to help improve people's skills in the community good luck!

Hey K1llz0n35,
It pains me to have to tell you that your map has been REJECTED.
It pains me to have to tell you that your map has been REJECTED.
- Theme: The theme you have chosen for your map is not original at all as we already have a map called "Checker" that executed the theme in a much better fashion. This is not an innovative attempt on the theme.
- Build: The build is not good at all as it doesn't even look like a checkerboard. It's a checkered patterned square. Personally, it feels like there wasn't much effort put into the map. You need to work on portraying your theme right, detailing, shaping, and parkour integration.
- Parkour: The PK length and difficulty did fit the easy difficulty. But, it was not a very enjoyable experience. This is due to the fact that you utilized 3 blocks for your parkour: ladders, fences and quartz. You need to use proper variation in the blocks/jumps in your map so that the parkour is fun to do and isn't repetitive.
