title: Java Loop is not doing what It should be doing
body: <p>Had a problem with the recursive conflictCheck() method. That seems fine now. I have print lines for testing, that look good. Now, when something is a conflict (returns true), my playChess() method is supposed to fix the conflict by adjusting the node's second variable, and so on.</p>
  
  <p>My result is literally:</p>
  
  <p>1,1</p>
  
  <p>2,3</p>
  
  <p>3,1</p>
  
  <p>4,3</p>
  
  <p>5,1
  ...</p>
  
  <p>Even though the output says "oh we have a conflict" it doesn't act on it once it reaches x,3</p>
