Introduction
The name of this task is The Devil's Checkmate, with the code being 7453.

There are 4 blackboards which can be found in the classrooms of Disturb the Neighbourhood and Get Out the Vote. The checkmate moves on these boards determines the solution for the code. The full derivations can be found further down.
This code can be input in the map Disturb the Neighbourhood, in the kitchen.
Blackboards for Disturb the Neighbourhood
There are 2 blackboards which can be found in the school, at the final area of the map.
On this board in the lit room, the White Queen moves from G3 to C7 to checkmate. Hence, representing 7.


On this board in the dark room, the White Knight moves from F3 to D4 to checkmate. Hence, representing 4.
According to the keypad, White moving symbolises the first 2 digits of the code, making them 74.
Blackboards for Get Out the Vote
In Get Out the Vote, the blackboards can be found in the school in the starting area of the map.
On this board in the lit room, the Blue Bishop moves from G4 to F5 to checkmate. Hence, representing 5.


On this board in the dark room, the Blue Queen moves from H4 to H3 to checkmate. Hence, representing 3.

As Blue is moving, according to the keypad, this symbolises the last 2 digits of the code, 53.

I went to check an old favorited guide with all the previous hidden tasks to see if they updated it with this new task just to find it was set to private or deleted. Luckily I found this one. But now I've just realized you are the same author of the other guide. What happened to it?
