To the comment about the king always going in his own color, I think it
was
in reference to setting up the board.

It is actually the queen that always goes on her own color (i.e., dark
queen on the dark square).  The opposing sides should be a mirror image
of
each other (queen and king directly across from each other).

And don't forget to position the board correctly: a light square under
the kings' rooks.
