Since there are more words that end in "Y" than "H", I bet that you go "y" to the "!" to the King...
But there are lots of ways to get to the "y"!

so thaty!, thath!, theh!, or they!. they! is the most likely one.

Well, since none of those other words make sense, my money is on the fact that "they!" is the last part of the message...
Although, I don't see how you made "they!"- starting from the queen, you go left two and up one, then up two and right one, then right one and up two to make "EY!", but how do you get to the "H"?

Except, how would you give the identity in 62 letters? (8x8 board, minus the king/knight) It would have to be a pretty wordy message I would think- unless there are any people with 60 letters in their username?

I think I may have the last word, I believe it's Q U I C K L Y !

EDIT: I'm also reasonably sure that unless you repeat letters you cannot get to every letter on the board for example you can only get to the M in the top corner from one place

There are also no X's J's or F's on the board

Sweet, a new game. I assume I can post, even though I'm not a "piece" or a "pawn", right? There's nothing in the rules prohibiting it...
