The Checkerboard Metropolis Algorithm Explained

In statistical physics, the Ising model claims that the physical system of magnets can be theoretically represented by a lattice arrangement of molecules. In this model, every molecule possesses a “spin”, which can align either upwards or downwards concerning an external magnetic field’s direction. We will represent these spins +1 and -1 respectively as shown in the figure below (others represent the alignment as 0 and 1).
