We might get more news by then, but I doubt JB or his publisher are paying any attention to an anniversary of a kickstarter reward.
I suspect the next announcement will be that JB submitted the manuscript to the publisher but that the first chapter won't be released to the general public until the announcement of the release date.

I don't know if that means Jim is working on chapter 60 or he has finished 60 chapters. That wording is a little vague. Whoever is writing those updates needs to write more clearly; and I say that as someone who often needs to remind myself to write more clearly, but I digress.
For the past few weeks Jim has been knocking out a chapter every 4 or 5 days. Several months earlier Jim was averaging about 8 days per chapter. Now there could be some simple explanation why the current chapter is taking so long for Jim to get through. Jim may have had some personal or family issue come up that he needed to take a few days off to deal with. However, I'm hoping it's not an outside problem, I'm hoping it's actually a good thing; something indicative that Jim is really in the very final stretch of finishing up Peace Talks. I'm thinking Jim has been working through all the final twists and turns of the final confrontation or set of confrontations Harry must pass through, and following the conclusion of the current chapter (or two) there will only be the epilogue to write. The epilogue chapter probably won't take more than 3 days for Jim to knock out.
Even if the current chapter isn't the penultimate one, the extra time Jim is taking to finish the current chapter will mean the final boss battle chapter will go pretty quickly because Jim has already set everything up for the conclusion he's aiming for. I think after the current chapter is finished, it might only be 3 to 8 more days before Jim writes "The End."

The problem with you idea is that we do not always get an update for every chapter. This means that while you could be correct and the latest chapter is taking a little longer it is also possible the next update will say chapter 62 or 63 not 61 meaning the chapter is not taking any extra time compared to others.
It is also possible we will just get a book complete notice soon and we will not know for sure how many chapters until we get the book. :)

I don't think the number of chapters is important, it is the length of those chapters... Are they fifteen pages or forty? Are we talking a four hundred page book or an eight hundred page book? How many pages really advance the plot line and how many are just descriptive padding?

Just waiting for two words, "The End."

He needs to do 62-63 chapters for me to win this bet. Any less, and the terms are unmet for both of us and we have to roll the pot (and add to it) for a release date bet. Any more, and I just lose. COME ON JIM FINISH THIS ONE AND THEN DO AN EPILOGUE.
