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.
Example

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 - Knight

The knight is the most unique chess piece you have!  Not only does it usually resemble a horse, it is the only chess piece that can jump over another chess piece or pieces according to chess rules.  The knight's move is rather different.  Think of the move as "L" shaped - two squares either forward, backward, left, or right and then left or right one square.  This special feature, being able to jump, can make the knight a very useful chess piece early in the game.
