But it always sounded super confident, right? That’s the danger. Not “you need to check my work,” but “sure, here you go!”

Oh, and just to save myself a follow-on post, I realized I’m such a hoarder that I’ve been collecting chess clocks with realizing it. The one on the left is an ultra-rare digital Garde (they exist, but I’ve never seen another one), the one on the right is a lovely Jerger, and then there are a couple of run-of-the-mills, including a BHB model that is at pretty much every board in Washington Square. It’s the street hustler’s go-to clock.
