I understand: you found the source on the web (or from a book). I can assure you: that is not the way to learn Java. I suggest starting from the beginning and then working your way up towards something more complicated (like writing a chess application).
Sun's tutorials are pretty good:

Since you had to ask what the method you posted returns, I assumed you know very little Java, because the return type of a method can be read from the method signature...

No, I will not e-mail you. If you have a question, feel free to post it here on the forum.

public Move[] getPossibleMoves() {
return (Move[])possibleMoves.toArray(new Move[0]);
}
It's the funny way Java has to convert a Collection to an array. I suppose possibleMoves is declared a Collection of some kind (like List or ArrayList, for example)? Have you learned to use the API docs yet? They're no. 1. Look at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Collection.html#toArray(java.lang.Object[]).
