Geocache Description:

Eight Chess Queens will point you to this High-Level "Chess Cache"

You will not find anything at the above coords


 

O.K. Here is the Proposition.

Sweep your Chessboard of all the pieces except the 8 White Pawns.

Now... Lets Pretend that each piece is actually a Queen!   So far so good, but now the Hard part.

Set up all 8 queens on the Board, such that No two Queens are able to Threaten each Other.

As a little help and to get you on your way the first Queen must go in A 8

The Cache can be found at N28º 17.DFG      W016º 24.EHC

Last but not least:- Thank you to the anonymous cacher who in helping me has helped you.

Because there are 4 answers that use A8 ... Only one of which will give you the cache
