I’m thrilled to have the oppor- nity to replace and extend the booklet. The ?rst variation ended on a tragic observe and that was once re?ected within the writing. it truly is now 11 years later and the undertaking has come to a pleasing end. due to the fact that its inception, the checkers venture has fed on eighteen years of my existence— twenty in case you count number the pre-CHINOOK and post-solving paintings. It’s difficult for me to think that i really caught with it for that lengthy. My spouse, Steph, may most likely have whatever witty to claim approximately my obsessive habit. Rereading the e-book after a decade used to be dif?cult for me. whilst I initially wrote One bounce forward, I vowed to be candid in my telling of the tale. That intended being sincere approximately what went correct and what went incorrect. i've been criticized for being challenging on the various characters. that could be so, yet i am hoping all people will agree that the individual receiving the main feedback used to be, justi?ably, me. i attempted to be balanced within the storytelling, re?ecting issues as they truly occurred and never as a few sanitized everyone-lived-happily-ever-after tale.
