Queens always begin the game on their own colors: the white queen on a white square and the black queen on a black square. We all remember: white on right; queen on colour. Queens are indeed meant to be on their own colors but that begs the question: Why are they meant to be on their own color? They could face each other if they were on their opposite colors too. The reason they face each other is probably more because the kings face each other just as they would on a real battlefield. In ancient forms of Chess there was no queen. There was an "advisor to the king" sitting on the spot the queen now sits. In later years, the queen was introduced and simply replaced the "advisor". Even in that ancient form of chess, the kings faced off against one another. Although the historical response is interesting, the real reason is because that's what the official rules of chess say. Any two people can agree to play by different rules, of course, but they would not be playing the official game of chess. If you really want to play by a different rule, try playing by the old rule that allowed the king to move any number of spaces in any direction, just like the queen.

What is the maximum number of queen a player can have in a game by one side?
I assume you mean the game of chess. The player starts out with one queen; the only way to get additional queens is to promote pawns - convert pawns into queens by taking them to the far end of the board (row 8 for white, row 1 for black). Since there are eight pawns that can be converted to queens, that makes a theoretical maximum of 9 queens, assuming standard chess rules are followed.

How many queens can you have in chess when you have the pawns go across the board?
At the beginning of a chess game, each side (or color) has one queen. However, each pawn that makes it to the opposite end of the board may be 'promoted' to a queen. If every pawn promotes to a queen, then a player could have a maximum of 9 queens (the one they started with plus the eight promoted pawns). This is highly unlikely since it is very difficult for a pawn to safely make it to the other end of the board. Plus one or two queens is all that a player should need to put his or her opponent in checkmate!
