Geocache Description:

This is Geochess! Cache is a small rubbermaid container.

This is GeoChess.

There are two ways to play GeoChess.

1.       One can play by themselves. And try to capture the King.

2.       Two people can play each other. By choosing different sides. And trying to capture the opponents King 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 - Rook

The rook is also called the castle by some and it actually looks like a castle or at least a castle tower.  The rook, as per chess rules, moves just like the queen except it can't move diagonally.  Just forward, backward, left, and right but as many spaces as desired without jumping other chess pieces.
