I can't get the chessboard in the correct colors

I'm trying to make a color black and then a color white, but some colors come together horizontally, and I didn't want it to stay that way. I want to create a board from a loop.

Could anyone help?

 var tab = document.querySelector('.grid-container')
    for (let i = 1; i <= 64; i++) {
        if (i % 3 == 0) {
            tab.innerHTML += '<div class="grid-item black">'+i+'</div>'
        } else {
            tab.innerHTML += '<div class="grid-item white">'+i+'</div>'
        }        
    }
.grid-container {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(8, 50px);
    grid-template-rows: repeat(8, 50px);
    background-color: #2196F3;
}

.grid-item {
    background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
    border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
    font-size: 30px;
    text-align: center;
}

.black{
    background-color: black;
}

.white {
    background-color: white;
}

Use a second for loop to easily distinguish rows and cols.

Then we can use the following if to check for black/white squares:

if ((i + j) % 2) {
    tab.innerHTML += '<div class="grid-item black">'+n+'</div>'
} else {
    tab.innerHTML += '<div class="grid-item white">'+n+'</div>'
} 


var tab = document.querySelector('.grid-container')

for (let i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
    for (let j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
        let n = 1 + (i * 8 + j);
        if ((i + j) % 2) {
            tab.innerHTML += '<div class="grid-item black">'+n+'</div>'
        } else {
            tab.innerHTML += '<div class="grid-item white">'+n+'</div>'
        }     
    }
}
.grid-container {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(8, 50px);
    grid-template-rows: repeat(8, 50px);
    background-color: #2196F3;
}

.grid-item {
    background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
    border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
    font-size: 30px;
    text-align: center;
}

.black{
    background-color: black;
}

.white {
    background-color: white;
}
<div class="grid-container"></div>
