<h3>Can't say I've ever played a chess match for these kind of stakes before.</h3>

While victory would mean a bigger payout for me than for any of you individually, I've already kind of won, considering the obscene amounts of SP this game has given me.

<h2>A few people have asked if I'll be holding another match. While I've enjoyed the journey (so far, we might be just getting warmed up), I don't think I have another one in me. 
I'm driven by innovation, so really just wanted to see if the idea had legs. 
It looked good in my head, but you don't really get to find out until you try. 
<h3>I'd say whatever happens from this point, this has been a success, and I'm very fond of everyone who's joined in.</h3>

I recently recruited a good friend and colleague. He has a personable, friendly nature, and the chiselled physique of a greek statue.
[He's blogging on strength and wellness](https://steemit.com/@joefitnessguy) and absolutely knows his content.

I'll be recruiting and mentoring one meatspace friend each month, and promoting them at the end of each post.
