A chess move in a particular chess position.
This class represents a move as can be done in a particular chess position. That means that it cannot be used to do the same move in another position where that move is possible too. The reason for that is that it's internal representation only stores the squares, and not piece information.
A Move is therefore always used in combination with a ChessPosition.
