We consider the division of a chess board in p disjoint rectangles which satisfy the conditions:
a) every rectangle is formed from a number of full squares (not partial) from the 64 and the number of white squares is equal to the number of black squares.
b) the numbers of white squares from rectangles satisfy Find the greatest value of for which there exists such a division and then for that value of all the sequences for which we can have such a division.
