Arrangement of chess pieces
Now that we are familiar with the "battlefield", let's look at chessmen and them location on the chessboard.
At first chess games for each player 16 figures, Name which are the following: , (queen), two , two , two and eight . Before I go into battle, the opponents decide. who plays white and who plays black.
Having correctly positioned the board, both players begin to place on it chessmen(one is white, the other is black), in two adjacent rows: the first and second are white, and the seventh and eighth are black, as shown in picture.
Before the start of the game, the pieces of the first rank (the player who plays white) are placed in the following order (from left to right): rook, knight, bishop, queen, king, bishop, knight, rook. The second row is occupied only by pawns. Accordingly, the player who will play black has the pieces of the eighth row arranged as follows: rook, knight, bishop, queen, king, bishop, knight, rook. The seventh row is occupied by pawns. 
The rook, knight and bishop next to the queen are called "the rook, knight and bishop of the queen", i.e., which are next to the king - "the rook, knight and bishop of the king." Before the start of the game, the queen is always on a square of her color (the white queen is on the white square in the center, the black queen is on the black one). And, on the contrary, the king always stands on a cell of the opposite color (the black king is on the central white cell, and the white king is on the central black one). After arrangement of chess pieces you can start the game, not forgetting that the first move is always made by white (according to international rules). To choose who will play what color pieces, a lottery is usually held. The player who got to play with white pieces has a slight advantage.
