movePiece

public boolean movePiece(int startRow,

                         int endCol)

allow unconstrained move of a piece from one location to another. Doesn't check if the move is legal. Not for public consumption in general, but probably ok for some in same package. Certainly could be used to implement moves for different kinds of pieces - should probably have made protected Should check indices for being in legal range, but don't do right now

toString

public java.lang.String toString()
