The chess board is a checkered board made up of eight vertical columns, called files, and eight horizontal rows, called ranks. This creates 64 squares, both light and dark. Every rank and file has a name. The a – file, b – file, c – file, etc. The
1st rank, 2nd rank, etc. This gives every square a name listed by letter and number (eg. b3, d7, g5, h1) Ref: [Figure 2.1]. The chessboard must be set up so that both players have a white square on their right hand corner.
