A Correct answer
Explanation

The statement is FALSE. In chess, kings start on opposite-colored squares (white king on e1-white square, black king on e8-black square), but they are NOT in the same column - they are on opposite sides of the board (e-file and e-file are the same file, but the rule about one square between them prevents them from facing each other directly with no pieces between). The actual rule is kings start one square apart from each other in their starting position.
