Picture the board in front of you. On the extreme left in the corner closest to you is the square A1. Move one square to the right and up to the third square from there you will find B3. The lines of squares going up and down are called files and are designated A to H beginning on the left and moving to the right. The lines of squares going horizontally are numbered 1 to 8 again moving from left to right. Thus, the square directly diagonally across the board from A1 up to the square on the extreme right and all the way up to the opponent's side is called H8.
Each square is 1.5 in by 1.5 in

When you start a chess game, the bottom right corner SHOULD be a light square. If it is dark, you're actually playing on a checker board, so you'll need to rotate the board 90 degrees. Remember the saying in chess: 'white on right, queen on colour.' A checkerboard is the opposite of a chessboard. The lower right hand square is a dark square.
