Chess board setup instructions
See the display below for how to set up a chess board game. What is important to remember is
that the square closest to you on the right should be white.
Furthermore, the Queen
piece color should match the square: Black Queen on black square, and White Queen
on white square.
The two Kings face each other. The Black King is always on the
white square, and the White King is always on the black square.
