Translations Problem Set

You have volunteered to raise money for a fundraiser by competing in a chess tournament. Unfortunately, the day before the tournament, you found out that you no longer have transportation to the tournament. Since you are smart, you still have the brainpower to play chess. Your best friend lives right by the tournament, so you call and ask him to go play for you.

Your best friend offers to be your arms and hands by moving your chess pieces across the board. All you have to do is tell your friend where to move each piece on the board. In this topic application, defeat your chess opponent by listing all of the translations for your white chess pieces. Identify the horizontal translation first, followed by the vertical translation. Since you are using the white pieces, you have the first move. Be sure to take a look at the first move to use as an example.
