Well a putz is a plodding player, with little skill.  They are also know as
woodpushers.  A woodpusher is someone who doesn't think about the game, just
pushes those wooden chess pieces.  Constructing the actual pun will be left
as an exercise for the gentle reader.  The _very_ gentle reader need not do
the exersize but may submit a note from their parents explaining that they
are not allowed to make these types of puns.
