With array of buttons, your chess game would be really ugly...
Do you want to make just the front-end to an available engine, or you have your own engines? Why would you do either of those, I wonder? -- there are many available developments.

Solution 2

Over 3.6 million google search results for the phrase "c# define multi-dimensional arrays"[^]

Moving the marbles around is totally depenedent on how you architechted the board object and the chesspiece object. In other words, does the board know where the pieces are, or do the pieces themselves know where they are? Once you determine that, the rest should be easy to do.
