Whether Queen should maintain the same Square colour

In classical openings and themes. I see the queen is better to be placed in its own color..,say white Q will not move to black sqr. Unless we get some tactical positions to gain material.

A colour distinction between the squares is desirable.  Any contrasting shade is preventing confusion.   Has nothing to do with the colour of the pieces.

There is an ivory set in green and red, and what about silver and gold squares ?

Be glad the lighter coloured queen can be placed on all squares (as can the darker one) !

I doubt your first line (...better...not...), any prove ?

Moreover your last line refutes your statement, okay ?

Why did you ask the same question twice ?

You started two forums on the same subject.

My answer above was not necessary anymore, I just discovered.

Thanks for the reply. I have gone through lots of openings. 95% Are placing the queeen in the same colour. And in middle game (considering only grand masters game) 60 To 70 Percentage games winners are Not changing theor queen colour.

Ancil, I have seen in many games you changed the colour of the queen. Because you are the one who uses queen more.Tell me if you have some discover check dont you stick to this statergy. Also some openings there is queen changing is standard move like kings indian Diffense.
