refactored 16 for loops into 2 using 2 double for loops.  currently trying to number the board.
labeled the board, used variables to make it more efficient
made very basics of the piece.  had to get the piece drawn, we can work on graphics later.  just got the rook done, took awhile because i drew the rook but the board covered it up, took awhile to debug, but here is the basics.
here is the basics of the board

i labeled it with letters and numbers
made the rook, that is signified by the capital R

need to add more features to the pieces and stuff
