The Queen is
NOT at the listed Coordinates.
To get the
coordinates for the queen one has to play GeoChess.
The
Coordinates are the Numbers marked on the pieces.
N (P1)(P2-3)° (P3+2)(P4+5) . (R1+1)(B1)(K1+2) W 0(P5-1)(P6-1)°
(P7-5)(P8+2) . (R2-5)(B2-2)(K2+4)
Click here to check your answer
P1 stands for Pawn 1 of the same color as the Queen
R1 stands for Rook 1 of the same color as the Queen
And so forth.
In the Queen you will find a decoder for the King, which gives
to the Numeric value for the letter that you found on each piece.

2.
Two people can play each
other. By choosing different sides. And trying to capture the
opponents King before He or She captures yours.
Note: If you
do not wish to play the entire game please feel free to log each
cache individually.
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 - Queen
Unlike the king, the queen
is no figure-head. She's the most powerful chess piece you
have on the chessboard. The queen usually looks like a queen
in the sense that she'll have a crown, sometimes with nice sharp
points. According to the rules of playing chess, she can move
vertically, horizontally, and diagonally just as many squares she
wants (without jumping other chess pieces). So you'll want to
be careful and not give her up too carelessly or without a steep
price to your opponent.
