To set up the king and queen pieces on the chessboard, place the king on the square of its own color (white king on white square, black king on black square) and the queen on the remaining square of the same color.

In an official game of chess, the pieces are coloured black and white. White moves first, and his pieces occupy ranks 1 and 2, with the white queen on a white square to the left of the white king.

How many chess pieces are in a chess set?

There are 32 pieces. 1 king, 1 queen, 2 bishops, 2 nights, 2 rooks and 8 pawns on each side (or color). == There are 12 pieces on a chess board, according to those who play. The kings, the queens and the pawns are not technically pieces. That leaves the 4 rooks, the 4 knights and the 4 bishops. Technically there are several definitions of the word piece depending on context and it could include the pawns, king and queen. But players during a game will not refer to pawns as pieces. Some definitions say a piece is anything other than a pawn. That would include the King and Queen and is my personal choice. I believe most everyone would include at least the Queen as a piece, since the Queen and Rook are considered major pieces while the Bishop and Knight are referred to as minor pieces and a piece by any other name is still a piece. I like to show off by telling new players that pawns are not pieces. I just hope that that new player does not tell me to read the World Federation of Chess Handbook, Section E. I. 01A Laws of Chess where in Section 2.2 it says this: 2.2 At the beginning of the game one player has 16 light-coloured pieces (the `white` pieces); the other has 16 dark-coloured pieces (the `black` pieces): So who am I to argue wth the World Federation of Chess. But still, I am going to tell new players that pieces are anything but pawns, and take the risk that some newbie is going to tell me I am wrong and I should read the Rules. Besides real players really do not call pawns pieces, no matter what the Handbook says.
