Yes, it is an estimate. They have to play everyday out without days off of course. I have done it in the passed (about 6 months ago) and it was going to be June 6th, 2015. So yes I am sure it can be 10 days before or even 10 days after the 4th of June.

Zorro averages 24.482 moves more a day it is about 285 to 260.

Today Zorro averages over 326 moves, 7 years & 93days playing chess.

I wonder what they do for a living if they can spend that much time making moves, hundreds of games? I am lucky to be able to play as many as ten games at a time, my job and commute combined add up to almost 12 hours a day weekdays.

Is RHP planning any special event for this occasion? Will there be another star color change or perhaps the star cycles through all the colors and then explodes...I would be interested to see what they come up with.

He'd have to be, the number of moves he's chalking up now.

I wonder if they ever come across position(s) that fascinate them enough to stop and think awhile and try to solve it.
