Pf Chess Hunt: Checkmate! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

GeoJewett: Sorry folks! The area that this cache was located is under some extensive development and the cache and its contents has been bull-dozed a second time. It is a sign that this series and final need to be archived!

With sadness in my heart, this series has to be archived. It was a collaboration effort with my chess loving boys. The final cache came under attack by evil ground-leveling bulldozers not just once, but a second time, leveling the area for development.

The other caches had been muggled more times than should be allowed, and had to be taken offline many times.

IF YOU had collected all the pieces, solved the final but could not get to the final in time before its demise and want a smiley, please contact me directly, we can work together to determine if you solved the puzzle and award you that well-deserved smiley.

Thanks for all the fun!

Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Pflugerville Chess Challenge!

My son has really become a chess fanatic, and what better way to mix his new obsession with Dad's favorite sport, but create a series of caches with a puzzle to solve for a final bonus cache!

Cache IS NOT at the listed coordinates. This is a puzzle that can only be solved by collecting all the information from all 10 puzzle pieces to solve for the coordinates for this final bonus cache!

The caches that you must find first are:

Assemble the puzzle pieces and then play a game of chess.  Compare the resulting board with the board below to solve the final coordinates.

Puzzle Coordinates
N (wK)° (wB)(wP).(wQ)(bN)(bQ)' W (bR)° (wN).(bB)(bK)
