I could be of assistance.
Do you refer to any of the puzzles at http://arimaa.com/arimaa/puzzles/list.cgi ?
In general, naming squares in Arimaa is done exactly like in chess.
You can post the link or the image here.

I think this is spam. Maybe we need Moderators in other Forums as well, not only the Off-topic-section, just to remove the Spamposts. I would be able to be moderator, I check the Forums on a given day with a probability of 98%.
EDIT:
I have just noticed that I received the following message from pelpolek:
" You seem to be an expert on th Arimaa gme. I am playing another game of Geocaching, I Wander you heard of it. One of the puzzles is based on Arimaa game, where the solution to finde the coordinates of the csche is to play a given pre-setup game. Because for non registered members at www.geocaching.com th elistin with the game is not visible I can send it to you via email. Can you help me please. My email pelpolek@gmail.com "
This indeed seems like spam.

Oh, I am sorry.
Well, it just seemed that way because you were telling your Mailadress and so on. I will try to help you. But maybe the intent of the Hint at the Cache was that you can solve the Puzzle for yourself if you know how to play Arimaa.
Believe me, if you try it you won´t be disappointed.
I will be mailing you.
EDIT:
@pelpolek: I sent you a Forum message with my E-mail Adress.
For anyone else that needs help in the Future:
it is: spam-her@web.de

The listing on geocaching.com will only show the board setup for registered members. I can send you the jpg with the bord setup. I have a clue to solve the bord you need only one move, but I know nothing about the game so to learn for this one instance is just crazy.

As I already said, you can post the .jpg here.
But is not thriving for challenges a reason to play Geocaching?
Be happy that someone took the time to make something out of the ordinary so that you can have an experience.
EDIT:
The rules need only 3 minutes to learn, for example this youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tjwid2Q4PY8
Or here is a flash animation:

Yes, you are right geoaching is a game of looking for solutions inmany ways, but for example can you play violin? Ican't either. this does not mke us any worse.

This is the position. You can copy&paste it and click the button "Generate" at this site:
http://arimaa.com/arimaa/notconv/old/boardtools.php
This gives you an image to the position so you can work out the move that you need to do in order to win.
I would feel bad if I just give you the winning move, to be honest.
If you say me what the winning move is, I will say how it is notated.
Someone put work in doing this picture and I don´t want to spoil his or your fun.
Out of Curiosity, can you tell me something about who posted it and what hints he gave?

ok, this puzzle was done bu a guy with geocaching nick Murazor. The hint he gave was :
[EN] N 60 33 15 E 23 51 33 (No need to go there!)
Ranks.
I figured it out from the name of the lake what it is ll about the game of Arimaa, but honestly I can't even play chess so it is extremely difficult to figure it out what the next move could be.
Out of curiosity are you on geocaching as well?

We figured it out the same day, if you want assistance, you can send a message. It only requires one move--hint the second horse drops off the board. We went out and grabbed the cache yesterday. Yay!
