The two most important things to remember when you set up a chessboard are to first set the board with the light square in the right-hand corner.
Then you begin setting the pieces on the board from the outside in, starting with the three pieces that you get two of - rooks, bishops, and knights.
The only other thing to remember is to place the queen on a square of her color. That means the white queen goes on the light square and the black queen on a dark square.
Now that you have learned how to set up the chessboard, the next step is to learn how the pieces move. Like setting up a chessboard, this is easier than it looks.
