I see that Alex notched up another win here today. One can only wonder if the Pittsburgh Bank is allowing him to bring all of his winnings home in one of their Brinks Armored Trucks? "Mr. Checkers"

Lets see ... I won first price in Morristown $150.00. Hotel expanses were $120, Gas,2 full tanks - $40x2 = $80, Meal for 2 days - $40. Total expanses = $120 + +$80 + $40 = $240.
Losses: $90
8 State tournaments during 1 year: total negative losses: $720.00
He did very well and you right, Jolt - there is no any reason for Jay to be disappounted. I was lucky to win both games against him, but I think it was only because of low practice and playing experience in real ty's.
For instance, after 9-14 (I had red) 22-18 5-9 ... he tried suspicious 18-15 but with small success. It maybe OK to play this in Internet, or having game down score, but this cannot be taken on serious occasion. GAYP is very discipline style.
Among two other fellows, Jay bought Sixth and I tried to encourage him to study seriously and practice with 3 moves.
What are you talking about Tommy? I was just joking with my friend Alex. "Mr. Checkers"

I didn't finish my math I am playing in average 120-150 games every year. Considering $720 annual losses, this means, that every single game which I play cost me $5 or one pack a cigaretts.
Average game consists of 20-25 moves, so evry move cost me 20-25 cents.
But just think Alex--this is offset by you personally getting to meet all of the fine ladies in the game of checkers today--Kim, Irma, Deb, Bugs, Wilma, Jan etc. "Mr. Checkers"
