I am trying to print a board like this

```
   board = [
   [a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9],
   [b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, b8, b9],
   [c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c6, c7, c8, c9],
   [d1, d2, d3, d4, d5, d6, d7, d8, d9],
   [e1, e2, e3, e4, e5, e6, e7, e8, e9],
   [f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, f6, f7, f8, f9],
   [g1, g2, g3, g4, g5, g6, g7, g8, g9],
   [h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, h7, h8, h9],
   [i1, i2, i3, i4, i5, i6, i7, i8, i9]
   ]

```

But I have to name every single variable and equal it to zero. 

```
   a1 = 0 a2 = 0 a3 = 0 a4 = 0 a5 = 0 a6 = 0 a7 = 0 a8 = 0 a9 = 0 b1 = 0

```

etc. all the way up to i9
This is obviously obnoxious, how can I make this smaller without changing the board. 
I do not want to print a new board, but just simply make the variables a1-9 to i1-9 more compact

do you think this could work?

```
 myArray = a1=a2=a3=a4=a5=a6=a7=a8=a9=b1=b2=b3=[0]

```
