Checkerboard Pattern Fill

Hello,
I hope you are very fine.

I was wondering, is there a way in GIMP to fill an area such that alternately, one pixel is colored and the other is not? For example, if I color a perfect square, I should end up with a chessboard pattern on it (on the pixel level).
Thank you very much in advance :)

Add layer mask and then apply the checkerboard filter to it (set size to 1, of course). Use selection tools firts, if you need to limit to only a part of the layer (mask).

Rightclick>Script-Fu>Alchemy>Erase every other Row You can not only erase but fill with color every other row. Or column. You can choose to alter even/odd row or column. Don't forget to add Alpha channel (Rightclick>Layer>Transparency>Add alpha channel)
