If you are looking on a mobile browser, click what you need to see the desktop site, and it will produce the board. For example, on an Android using Chrome, click the horizontal ellipsis, and then click "Desktop site", and it will render.

Answers.Text: Of course, this only works if the pieces are placed with the correct board orientation.  Pieces should only go on the top and bottom sides of the board if the lower-right corner is white.  Otherwise, if following the "queen is on her own color" and if white moves first, the result is the side with the queen on the right goes first, which is similar to if black went first when using a proper setup.

  It starts with the board being setup correctly, and that means a light square in the right-hand corner. Then, the queens each go on their own color.
