/** @file Piece.hpp
 *  @brief The header files for the Piece class.
 *
 * This file contains not only the definition of the Piece class itself, but also all
 * of the derived classes (King, Queen, Rook, etc.) I was considering having them be in
 * separate files, but each derived class does not contain that much code, so keeping them
 * all in one place seemed easier to deal with. This may change in the future!
 *
 * Also defined here are important enums that help abstract chess terms, for example the
 * PieceType, PieceColour, Rank, File, etc. These allow the code to be more readable and
 * it helps make it obvious what certain bits of code are doing.
