Hi Everyone . . . !
Come join us this Wednesday
evening, January 11, 2017, from 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at Starbucks located at
1536 Kirker Pass Rd., Clayton, Calif., for fun,challenging chess regardless of
your age, gender, or skill level . . . ! Come by anytime, the earlier the
better for the best tables, more games, and some really interesting people!
Several players will be
practicing openings, end games, tactics, playing on the clock, taking notes,
etc. etc., for the 8th Annual Golden State Open Chess Tournament set for this
coming weekend at the Concord Crowne Plaza Hotel . . . there are 7 skill
sections, from master to novice! If you haven't signed up yet, you have
until this Wednesday to do so at reduced rates, but signups can be done on the
day of the tournament. Even if you don't enter, drop by and get social,
even root your friends on in between matches, as there will be several of us
there.
Last week's session at
Starbucks was fun despite the cold, wet weather, as Kitty, Bob C., Chris B.,
Chris Th., Tony T., a couple young kids, Mike T., Jonathan, Rich K., and
long-time-no-see Ryan were there, over the boards, to get some matches in
before this weekend's tournament! Figure there will be more players
having chess fun at Starbucks this Wednesday evening, rain or no rain!
See you soon,
