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 – 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!
