According to the rules of chess, when you set up the initial position, your
queen is on it's own colored square. In other words, the white queen is on
a white square and the black queen is on a black square. As the lower
right-hand corner of the board is a white square for white, and the squares
are lettered A through H from left to right and from 1 through 8 from bottom
to top, this puts the white queen on square D1 and the black queen on D8.
This is where color matters. HTH

Hi Ron,
To tell you the truth, I forget if my board is white or black raised and
which pieces are black or white. One board has the trays on the side for
captured pieces the other does not. So that board can be turned 90
degrees. But so any way I also always use the pin head pieces for my
opponent. So I do not see that it makes any difference which is black and
which is white. Either with the squares or pieces. Just so that you set
the pieces up correctly to start and never move any of them illegally.
