Method Detail
- values
```
public static Position[] values()
```
  Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (Position c : Position.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
  Returns:
  
  an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
- valueOf
```
public static Position valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
  Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
  
  Parameters:
  
  name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
  
  Returns:
  
  the enum constant with the specified name
  
  Throws:
  
  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
  
  java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
- getColour
```
public Colour getColour()
```
  Returns:
  
  the position's colour
- getRow
```
public int getRow()
```
  Returns:
  
  the position's row
- getColumn
```
public int getColumn()
```
  Returns:
  
  the position's column
- get
```
public static Position get(Colour colour,
                           int row,
                           int column)
                    throws ImpossiblePositionException
```
  Gets the position corresponding to the specified colour, row and column.
  
  Returns:
  
  the position of the specified colour, row and column
  
  Throws:
  
  ImpossiblePositionException - if outside the bounds of the board.
- neighbour
```
public Position neighbour(Direction direction)
                   throws ImpossiblePositionException
```
  Gets the neighbouring cell in the given direction. Cells always move forward towards the center line, so the direction is independent of piece colour.
  
  Returns:
  
  the position in the specified direction.
  
  Throws:
  
  ImpossiblePositionException - if moving backwards from the back rank, or moving of the side of the board.
- evenParity
```
public boolean evenParity()
```
  returns true if the position has even parity equivalent to a black square on a traditional chess board.
