Our session this past Sunday at Panera Bread saw another 15 players enjoy an afternoon of chess, and we welcomed two new players to the club!  On hand to welcome Howard at the start of the afternoon, and young Tyler later in the day, were Ken, Tony T., Sol, Chris B., Reza, Priya, Bob C., Jon and Max, John and Josh, Hanza, and Mike T. . . . !

So then, come by and see us as we welcome players of all ages and skill levels, from novices to masters and all in between, renew old friendships, make new ones!
