Implementing Transition Transition for Chess Piece [duplicate]

I'm new to JavaFX and I am trying to use the translate transition class to move a chess piece to the tile I have clicked. I don't want to use the drag-and-drop method. I want the piece to move with animation but the code I've written doesn't move the piece at all. I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. I've researched other questions on SO but nothing has helped so far.

Tile[][] tiles = gameHandler.getBoardTiles();          displayBoard();            piecesGrid.setVgap(2);          piecesGrid.setHgap(2);            for(int row = 0; row < tiles.length; row++) {              for(int column = 0; column < tiles[0].length; column++) {                  if(!tiles[row][column].isOccupied()) {                      gamestate[row][column] = new ImageView(BLANK);                  }                  else {                      /* Creates a MouseEventListener that allows player interaction with Piece */                      int vertical = row;                      int horizontal = column;                      Piece piece = tiles[row][column].getPiece();                      gamestate[row][column] = new ImageView(piece.getImage());                      // TODO: once ai is working, make listener for only player pieces                      if(piece.getCorp().isCommandAvailable() && piece.isPlayerPiece()){                          gamestate[row][column].setOnMouseDragged(mouseEvent -> { clicked(mouseEvent, gamestate[vertical][horizontal]); });                          gamestate[row][column].setOnMouseReleased(mouseEvent -> {                              try {                                  moved(piece, gamestate[vertical][horizontal], vertical, horizontal);                              } catch (IOException e) {                                  e.printStackTrace();                              }                          });                      }                  }                  gamestate[row][column].setFitWidth(tileSize.getWidth());                  gamestate[row][column].setFitHeight(tileSize.getHeight());                  piecesGrid.add(gamestate[row][column], column, row);                }          }          gameboardPane.getChildren().add(piecesGrid);      }        /** -------- Following classes are for Mouse Event Listeners ----------- **/      private void clicked(MouseEvent event, ImageView image) {          final TranslateTransition transition = new TranslateTransition(Duration.millis(100));          transition.setNode(image);            transition.setFromX(event.getX());          transition.setFromY(event.getY());            transition.setToY(event.getX() - (float)tileSize.width/2);          transition.setToX(event.getY() - (float)tileSize.height/2);          transition.play(draw(image));      }        private void draw(ImageView image) {          image.setX(image.getX());          image.setY(image.getY());      }        private void moved(Piece piece, ImageView image, int vertical, int horizontal) throws IOException {          ArrayList<MoveHandler> moves = piece.determineMoves(gameHandler.getBoard());          int moveX = Math.round((float)image.getX() / tileSize.width);          int moveY = Math.round((float)image.getY() / tileSize.height);            /* Determine if the coordinate the space is trying to move to is a valid move */          int destinationCoordinates = (8 * (vertical+moveY)) + (horizontal+moveX);          for(MoveHandler move : moves){              if(move.getDestination() ==  destinationCoordinates)              {                  gameLog.appendText(piece.getColor().toUpperCase() + " " + piece.getName() + ": " + posToString(piece.getCoordinates()) + " -> " + posToString(move.getDestination()) + "\r\n");                  gameHandler.setBoard(move.executeMove());                    piece.getCorp().switchCorpCommandAvailablity();                  switch (piece.getCorp().getCorpName()) {                      case "king" -> {                          kingCCStatus.setText("Unavailable");                          kingCCStatus.setTextFill(unavailableColor);                      }                      case "kingsBishop" -> {                          rBishopCCStatus.setText("Unavailable");                          rBishopCCStatus.setTextFill(unavailableColor);                      }                      case "queensBishop" -> {                          lBishopCCStatus.setText("Unavailable");                          lBishopCCStatus.setTextFill(unavailableColor);                      }                  }              }          }          displayPieces();      }
