Step One: Set Up The Board
A checkerboard is eight squares by eight squares. The squares alternate colors, one dark and the next light. Arrange your board so that a light corner square is to the right of each player.
Place twelve pieces of one color on the first three rows of alternating dark squares. Repeat with the other twelve pieces on the other side of the board, again putting all pieces on the dark squares.
