Best Answer

The King always starts on an opposite colored square. Black king is on a white square. White king is on a black square. How do you remember this for future games? Just remember that the Queen starts on her own color. Why? Because wives always get their own way.

What difference does it make if black square is not on left hand corner of a chess board?

If black is not in the left hand corner at the start of the game, then king and queen would be switched, which could be confusing for people who have played many games with them the proper way around.
