Line 9:
: It doesn't really matter for this task (since we only display pieces for the first rank, for one player). Hypothetically speaking, though, each player could be thought of as having a second rank, which would allow all 16 pawns to be placed. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 05:54, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
:: There are eight ranks on a chessboard, the 1<sup>st</sup> rank is where white's major and minor pieces are initially positioned, rank 8 is where black's major and minor pieces are initially positioned. The 2<sup>nd</sup> rank is where (all 8) white's pawns are initially positioned, the 7<sup>th</sup> rank is where all the black's pawns are initially positioned. The black player doesn't have a 1<sup>st</sup> or 2<sup>nd</sup> rank in that those ranks are occupied by white pieces. Ranks aren't owned by either white or black, the ranks are numbered from the "bottom" of the chessboard, where the "bottom" is occupied by the white player's major and minor pieces. As long as the Rosetta Code task is stating the placement of all the pawns, it should be accurate and conform to the notations and wording of the Fédération Internationale des Échecs (FIDE), aka, the World Chess Federation. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:28, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
