Here's a game I played against 57% Fresh today:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201208/19/game-20120819-131034-857cb664.html#1 ycz6: 36 points (6 Provinces); 26 turns
opening: Chapel / Stash
[11 cards] 4 Stashes, 1 Chapel, 6 ProvincesFair warning: I don't think this a particularly well-played game by either side, and there probably aren't any big insights to take away. You might find it funny though.

Having never actually tried the combo before, as soon as I see the board I want to try it out before Isotropic goes down
So, despite the presence of Sea Hag, I open Chapel/Stash on 2/5.
I end up picking up Sea Hag on the first shuffle anyway, and my Stash doesn't actually do anything for me for several turns. I also don't get my second Stash until turn 12. Perhaps my opening was questionable. Nevertheless, I somehow split the Curses 5/5.
He gets Trade Route from the Black Market deck and buys an Estate on turn 8. I don't like this move, especially since he could have gotten a Lab (or a Stash!) instead.
I buy a second Chapel on turn 11. I think this was the right move, given the weird tempo of Stash-based economies? Someone else should weigh in here.
I Chapel down and load up on Stashes for a while. I Chapel three Silvers on Turn 18. I believe this was the correct play.
He gets a Pirate Ship, which is a huge mistake, since Stash is pretty much a hard counter, and the trashing helps me quite a bit. Weirdly, though, it becomes a big threat later in the game; on Turn 22, for instance, my draw pile + discard contains only five cards, 4 of which are Stashes. If he'd hit one of my Stashes there, it would've set me back a good two turns. I don't think he noticed, though, and anyway he never drew his Pirate Ship when I was in the danger zone.
Eventually, I end up with an amazingly sharp deck, and a 36-9 victory.
