I just want to write this matrix, but want to do it using for loops

There are much easier ways to do this than nested for loops, reshape is readily available. if you must do it with for loops you want to start off with the template
 for Rind=1:Nrows
   for Cind=1:Ncols
        Checkerboard(Rind,Cind) = ___;%what condition of Rind and Cind gives you the checker board pattern.
        %start with the first row what makes a 1 appear when Rind==1 and Cind=a number.
        %then think of the sigificant difference between Rind==1 and Rind==2.....
   end
  end
