A  $6 \times 6$  board is given such that each unit square is either red or green. It is known that there are no  $4$  adjacent unit squares of the same color in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line. A  $2 \times 2$  subsquare of the board is *chesslike* if it has one red and one green diagonal. Find the maximal possible number of chesslike squares on the board.
