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 -Bishop

The bishop, well, I guess you could say the top of the chess piece looks sort of like a bishop hat.  Most bishops also have a cut  near the top resembling that of a  mouth.  There are two bishops, always one on a light square and one on a dark square.  Chess rules say that bishops move just like the queen except they can't move forward, backward, left or right.  Diagonally only just as many spaces as desired without jumping another chess piece.  Because bishops move diagonally, they will always remain on their original square color as per the rules of chess.  So if in the middle of a chess game you notice either your opponent or your bishops are on the same color square - something's gone very wrong.
