The rule, also known as "queen on her own color" assures the proper alignment of the board. In the development of the game, there were found to be advantages to moving first, and also to the position of the kings on the same file. With White moving first, the existing positions of the pieces allows certain valuable defenses for Black, and these would be entirely different using the opposite square colors.
