An easy and quick guide to set up a chess board

If you have a chess set and wish to begin a game, first of all you want to know how do you set up a chess board correctly. Below are easy steps to be followed for setting up a chess board that includes:

Lay out a board with the light square in a bottom right corner

It is essential to orient the board in a seamless direction, so every side will be setting up perfectly. The simple way to remember this is white on right.

Set up pawns on second rows or ranks

Placing your entire pawns on first can supports to unblemished a stack of pieces next to a board, so the rest of your pieces will go on very fast.

Place your rooks in edges

It is very simple to remember for setting up your rooks in edges as similar to towers in the original castle.

Put your caballeros next to your rooks

Think that you are placing some horses on a board and you need them distant away from the king and queen as well.

Bishops go next to the knights

The bishops always stand in a position between the royal king and queen as well as the foul knights. So, you have to place them just subsequent to the cavaliers.

Your queen goes on her own colour

No matter, which square your queen goes on. One of the simplest ways to remember is that the queen always needs to suit her outfit. Make sure the white queen on a light square and black queen on a dark square.

Put your king on a last square

In such point, there would be only one empty square, so your king must take his place obviously.

Do not forget the white moves at first

In a chess board, the player with white pieces always moves at paramount. You can determine who plays black and who plays white via any way of chance. One such way is to simply hide the white pawn in single hand behind your back and also have your rival selection.
