Obviously knowing how to set up a chess board is imperative if you want to play chess. Good news is, it's pretty easy to remember once you do it a few times. The first thing you should know is that the chess board is comprised of both eight rows and eight columns, which ends up making 64 total squares. As you can see, the squares are alternating colors between light and dark.
While setting up the board, you should make sure that a light (or white) square is at the very bottom on the extreme lower right hand side for both players on either side. You can probably tell that this works for both players once you have the board the right way.
When you're setting the pieces, start with the corners. A rook goes on each of the four corners. Knights are placed to the rooks, then the bishops next to them. Queens are always placed on the square of the same color (which means the white or light queen would end up on the white or light colored square (depending on what your board looks like), and the dark one would go on the dark square.
Kings go next to queens, and then pawns go in front of all of the other pieces.
All of these rules are essential. Once you get them down, you can enjoy your game of choice.
Just so you know a little bit more about each piece and how they move, too:
Rook - This can move forward, backward, left, and right - as many spaces as necessary - as long as it doesn't jump another piece.
Knight - The only piece that can jump other chess pieces, this one can move 2 spaces forward, backward, left, or right, and then also one place to the left or right (it always ends up making an "L" shape).
Bishops - These can move diagonally as long as they're not jumping any other pieces.
Queen - This can move as many pieces as it wants - diagonally, vertically, or horizontally - as long as it doesn't jump any other pieces.
Kings - Can move one square at a time, either diagonally, forward, backward, left, or right.
Pawns - Can move 2 spaces forward for the very first move, and then only one square at a time for the duration of the game.
