Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates.

To find this cache you must first solve the following chess puzzle. Playing as white, you must achieve a forced checkmate in three moves (so there will be five piece/s moved in total, three for white, and two for black). Note that the same piece may be moved more than once.

The solution board on the right contains numbers. Each move is associated with a number, which will reveal the final coordinates for the cache. White's first move is move A, black's first move is move B, and so on to E. Look at the square the piece is moved to, then write down the corresponding number.

Finally, substitute the numbers for letters in the following to obtain the end coordinates;

S 35° AC.EDC

E 149° DB.AE(2B)

There are a couple of ways to get to this cache, but you shouldn't have to cross any fence lines. There is plenty of room for swaps. In fact, I have started off with a stack of aeroplanes, but feel free to depart from this theme.

I've also taken the opportunity to release a travel bug, Ronaldo the Turtle.

Good luck, Ronaldo!
