Chess Board Setup

The chess board setup is very easy. Just remember two rules.



1) Right corner square must be white.

2) White queen on white square and black queen on black square.

It doesn't matter if you have the black pieces or white pieces in front of you.

You will see that the numbers are correct when you follow the rules above. That means the number 1 starts at the white side of the board and the number 8 ends at the black side of the board.

When you have White the letter a starts always at the left and when you have Black the a starts at the right hand side.


Keep in Mind

  • Put the rooks at the corners
  • Put the knights beside the rooks
  • Put the bishops beside the queens and the kings

  • Look at the chess image below and you will see how this is done.
