Remark

You start at (3,2) which means that you are moving 3 squares in the x direction (from 1,1). Chess boards are normally numbered with the home square as (1,1). You are also starting with y = 2. (3,2) is normally occupied by the queen's bishop's pawn. Now you move 2 squares to your right and 1 down towards you. You are now on the king's home square on the first row. This does not entirely follow math rules which caught me when I first read it.

Both moves are translations.
