sf::Mouse::getPosition(window) provides you the position of the mouse.
sprite.setPosition() allows you to set the position of a sprite.

Use sf::Event to read when the mouse button is pressed. See detailed description (http://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2.3.2/classsf_1_1Event.php).

while window is open
  handle window events (if piece is selected and mouse was pressed, update position)
  other updates go here...
end while
