  • I have removed tag(s) from your question's title based on _[Should questions include “tags” in their titles?](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/19190/should-questions-include-tags-in-their-titles)_ where the consensus is **no** _they should not_. –  Apr 02 '15 at 00:39

A rectangle has an int x and y component. They represent the position on the screen. x: 0, y: 0 represents the upper left corner of the screen. They're measured in pixels.

Example(assumingly in Game class)

Rectangle chessPiece1;
// in init function:
chessPiece1.x = 100;

You'll see that the chess piece has moved 100 pixels to the right on the screen(if you've drawed of course).

// if you put this in the update function, your chess piece will move 1 pixel to the right every time the update function is called!
chessPiece.x++;

And you can do this in the y direction too.

More info here. Also: I assume you are new to stackoverflow, people can be a little harsh if you ask "fix this for me please". Here's some info on how to make neat questions.

    _"Here's some info on how to make neat questions"_ - is actually pointing to MSDN `Rectangle` class help. Did you mean to link to SO? ;) –  Mar 23 '15 at 07:25
