CHESS this Wednesday June 29 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone . . . !

Summertime chess over the boards is the thing now every Wednesday evening from 6:00p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Starbucks, located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd. Clayton, Calif.  Come by anytime, the earlier the better, for the best tables, more games, and some really interesting company!

Our last session saw at least nine or ten players in some fairly challenging matches, and it looks like Rich K., Chris B. and Anthony are on winning streaks as hot as the temperatures have been, but I understand a cooling trend may be just around the corner . . . ?

See you soon,

CHESS this Wednesday June 22nd at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone . . . !

There's lots of chess this Wednesday evening, June 22, 2016,  from 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at Starbucks, located at  1536 Kirker Pass Rd., Clayton, Calif., come by anytime, the earlier the better fr the best tables, more games, and some really fun, interesting company!

There were as many as 9 players that came by for chess this past Sunday afternoon at Panera Bread Restaurant, and we welcomed John C., a new player who is also looking to establish a regular meeting venue for our club on another day within Walnut Creek.   We may know more about that in the weeks ahead . . . On hand to welcome John were Jackie, Chris T., Bill K., Bob C., Sevien, Ronald C., Mike T., and Tony T.  Considering it was Father's Day and the afternoon/early evening for Game 7 of the NBA Finals between the Warriors and the Cavaliers, the turnout was actually better than expected!

Also ahead sometime in the summer, yet to be scheduled as to when and where, another simul exhibition featuring chess master Ronald Cusi . . . !

See you soon,
