Well, a better job on having a descriptive topic :) But I'm still not quite clear about your question. So, you have a game board, and you want the pieces to start in your default positions?

Well, one approach would be to have a 2-dimensional array that logically represents the board, and the value of the index represents whether that square is black/white/blank. Then simply go through the array and draw each square. This approach has the added benefit that, when you move a piece, you can re-assign and re-draw only two elements of the array.

I hope I ineterpreted your question correctly :)
