Beginners often accidentally interchange the placement of the queen and king, thus the mnemonic "queen on her color." The white queen starts on a white square, and the fl queen on a fl square.
The queen can be moved in a straight line vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, any number of unoccupied squares as shown on the diagram at the left, thus combining the moves of the rook and bishop.
After the queens and a few other pieces have been exchanged, the kings are able to participate more actively in events, and the focus of the game shifts to a struggle to promote a pawn, usually to a new queen.
QueenStreet, Auckland, New Zealand, is the major commercial thoroughfare of the country's main population centre.
Named after Queen Victoria, QueenStreet was an early development of the new town of Auckland (founded in 1840) although initially the main street was intended to be Shortland Street.
At the northern waterfront entrance to QueenStreet is Queen Elizabeth II Square, often referred to as QEII Square.
