Noob if this really happened, you shouldn't adjust your queen and king , you obviously don't know the rules, you should of continue as it is and be fine , but the guy simply hustled you in to switching and making his position much better if not completely winning.
The difficulty of advancing from FM to IM & then GM .
Sort:
ESP-918 ,
I was in the wrong with the way the King & Queen were set up in the first place 'those boards were all ready before I took my place , silly me just played my natural moves with black with out checking ,
I was a young man back then .
Now I'm an old man 
So if your king and queen in the wrong does it mean you MUST switch them ? Do you know the rules?
Although I'm never going to get a high rating & are just satisfied to enjoy this great game , I have always admired those who managed to advance up .
What sort of effort would a talented player need to even have a chance ?
On a side note for your amusement , back in the early 70's I was playing GM Lajos Portisch in a simul ,
He was moving quickly between the many players in the early stages & stopped dead at my board the moment I made my move !
This caused an immediate surge of spectators to gather behind me to see what wonderful move I must have played .
A few second more passed when he grinned & said something in his native Hungarian whilst pointing to my king & queen that had been setup on the wrong squares
After the adjustment I went on to lose badly , but enjoyed my few seconds of delusion ''''
