Trials of a woodpusher: Adventures in chess, backyard gardening, and maybe whisker chopping

[GearNoir]

Exciting things on the horizon there Sam! You’ll be holed up in your home office, retired and neck deep in International Grand Master games before you know it!

That would be the plan, good sir, along with eating a chip or two!

He will eventually man-up. After all, he already has the chip!

 

[GearNoir]

Just waiting for it to get stale so I can rib Chad some more. Maybe next year...

 

[woodpusher]

If you're going the Chadler Bing route, your wife needs to be on board, as she'll have to eat way more of the chip that you do.

If that's what you are waiting for then I'd say it is time to eat! if chad's was stale several months ago yours most definitely should be by now!

@Dave in KY finished* his vintage Williams today and I am a shave or two right behind him with my modern Williams. My Godrej puck is rearing to go.

I may have been able to get 1 more chasing pieces around but wanted some vintage in the clown puke too

 

[woodpusher]

You've done well for one so young on the 3017 journey.

 

[woodpusher]

My modern Williams finished today and turned out to be pretty good puck; much more usable than any previous Williams-3017ing that I can recall. I think the key was to simply load more product. (well, duh)

I've used a few Godrej Round in the past and looking forward to the next 2 months with this one. We'll see if my newfound heavily loading technique transfers over to this little puck-o-joy.

Congrats Sam !!!

 

[GearNoir]

Another one bites the dust! Nice job Sam!
