Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. You will need to solve the puzzle below. I don't get the opportunity to play chess very often, but truly enjoy it. My dad taught me to play when I was young, maybe 6 years old. We still play over email on a pretty regular basis, but when I don't have that opportunity, chess puzzles are a nice way to scratch that itch.


The cache, a camouflaged peanut butter jar, is hidden at:

N 42 49.ABC W 084 41.DEF

To solve for the letters, you will need to solve the same-lettered chess puzzles below. Substitute the grid number of the final move that yields checkmate for the letter (i.e. if you move the rook from C-1 to C5, you would substitute the number 5).

GPS wasn't certain on the coordinates across four separate visits, so no shame in using the hint!

Signature BIGGBYjedi prize included for the FTF--good luck!


A = White to Move, Mate in 2
