# Queen Attack
Given the position of two queens on a chess board, indicate whether or not they
are positioned so that they can attack each other.
In the game of chess, a queen can attack pieces which are on the same
row, column, or diagonal.
A chessboard can be represented by an 8 by 8 array.
So if you're told the white queen is at (2, 3) and the black queen at
(5, 6), then you'd know you've got a set-up like so:
```plain
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ W _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ B _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
```
You'd also be able to answer whether the queens can attack each other.
In this case, that answer would be yes, they can, because both pieces
share a diagonal.
## Setup
Go through the setup instructions for JavaScript to
install the necessary dependencies:
http://exercism.io/languages/javascript
## Making the Test Suite Pass
Execute the tests with:
jasmine <exercise-name>.spec.js
Replace `<exercise-name>` with the name of the current exercise. E.g., to
test the Hello World exercise:
jasmine hello-world.spec.js
In many test suites all but the first test have been skipped.
Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by
changing `xit` to `it`.
