As requested: answer to puzzle 4 (I think): 14.2981, 101.2189 Start from top-left, move the number of spaces given by the number of your current square: down right left down right right up down down right down It's a maze; worked backwards from the numbers that have commas and points next to them.

How did you work out the movement sequences?

Well, we've been to brazil, england, poland, and thailand so far?

place the 3 black pawns and 7 white pawns to add to the appropriate numbers?

or maybe position the white rooks and black rooks in their spots to remove those numbers from the board?

I'll draw it out when we finish up the game :) - what the guys above me said (process of elimination)

Here is better format: Numbers are amazing. Follow the count. V ----------------------------------- > 1 7 8 5 4 10 1 2 6 3 6 1. 9| |4. 2 9 4 2 7 9 8 5 6 5 2 7| |4 10 9 7 4 2 5 9 6 8 10 7 9| |8 5 3 5 3 5 4 7 2 9 6 1 8| |2 7 1 3 4 1 5 8 4 9 8 8 3| |6 1 9 4 5 5 7 3 1 2 6 10 4| |10 8 7 1 2 4 5 8 2 5 7 9 1| |2 3 5 7 1 4 6 9 5 3 4 5 6| |9 1 4 4 8 3 7 6 2 5 1 6 7| |2 1 9 3 7 4 5 7 3 6 8 7 8| |8 3 8 5 8 4 6 1 5 9 1, 10 6| |6…

All you need to do is sum up the numbers on each row/column. Horizontal will produce the latitude (except after the 1,), and vertical will produce the longitude.

I think for the chess game we have the play the game backwards.. I am trying to play the game forward, but not clear what is the delineation for the comma or period in the lat lon.. maybe black can put white into check?

Thailand, https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMNGiEkdfeZKK5uus5iOmt-... Pic is called base64 (upvote this so we can start a new subthread)

Conversion of the filename is "Where have you been?"

Like scrabble with the piece values? e.g. white rooks are -14 and 10?

Sheesh I'm dense, I think I need an animated GIF of how you're moving through the maze. I can see 1-4.-2 but then do you keep moving right a second time, two spaces, to that 9? And then you move... nine spaces to... where?

Nine spaces down, I believe

1-down

4-right

2-left

9-down

8-right

etc

Something to think about: chess notation is 1-8 and a-f., with a1 on the bottom left and h8 on the upper right.
