Current Problem

Suppose you have a 2022x2018 chessboard with its square tiles painted black and white alternatingly.  Some square tiles have pebbles on them, so that the total number of pebbles in each row and the total number of pebbles on each column are always odd numbers (a single square tile may have more than one pebble).  Show that the number of pebbles on black squares must be an even number.
