How to Capture
the King?
Since the king
is the most important Piece in the game of chess. And when he is
captured it ends the game. He is going to be the hardest of all the
pieces to capture. All of the other pieces are protecting him,
especially the Queen.
One must first
track down and capture all of the other pieces on the game board
and record the number and letter associated with each
one.
Once all the
pieces have been collected they will give the coordinates to the
Queen which holds the key to finding the king.
Note: All
caches are placed in Lancaster County, SC including the Queen and
King.
Chess piece –
Pawn
The poor little pawns are put
out in front right in harms way while the other guys are hiding
back behind. As per the rules of playing chess, they're
expected to advance out in front and take the brunt of an oncoming
attack or serve as a shield. It seems rather unfair
considering they're pretty defenseless. These chess piece are
allowed to only move one square at time by the rules of chess.
However, in their first move, they can move two squares if they
want. They can only move straight forward - no retreating for
these soldiers according of the chess rules. And they can
only capture one of the enemies by approaching diagonally.
But, according t the chess rules, if one of these brave little
soldiers can make it to the other side, they are rewarded with a
promotion - to a queen! Some promotion that is!
