If the grid-size of the "board" will remain the same, you could use Cartesian co-ordinates, but, depending on what programming tools you used (Win Forms ? WPF ? ASP.NET ?) you might well benefit from using a built-in control like the TableLayoutPanel in WinForms.

Your question is so general that it's hard to say anything more. What have you done so far ? Show us some code.

You may simply use a static background for the board and then use transparency for drawing the player tokens, see, for instance "How to Use Transparent Images and Labels in Windows Forms"[^].
