Geocache Description:

Coordinates are not for the cache. They are the coordinates for the trailhead. To get the actual caches coordinates you will have to answer the following puzzle. The difficulty listed is for the puzzle not the difficulty of finding the cache itself.

In 1993 a movie called "Searching for Bobby Fischer" was released. The movie was about a young boy that was thought to bethe next Bobby Fischer ( the greatest chess mind ever ). To solve this puzzle you will need to figure out who that young boy is. Then take his ELO rating as of 2004 and subtract it from Bobby Fischer's peak rating. Then take that number and add to it the number of moves it took the Young boy at age 10 to defeatt his first master rated opponent Edward Frumkin after sacrificing his Queen and Rook in a match that took place in 1987. Once you have you final answer subtract it from 500 and it will leave you with the last 3 digits of the north coordinate for the cache. N 39 51.??? W075 05.259

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

RIP Bobby Fischer 3/9/1943 - 1/17/2008
