CHESS this Sunday, December 3, 2023 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

Last Wednesday was quite active at our regular Starbucks venue, with more than a dozen players enjoying an afternoon and evening of chess over the boards. The players were: Bert, Sam, Ben C., FBen, Matthew, Tony, Will Mike T., Red, new player Sri, Diego, and two of our club's founding fathers, Hossam and John S.! It was Sam who solved the chess puzzle on the first attempt!

We meet again this coming Sunday, December 3, 2023, and this month will complete the first 15 years of the Contra Costa Chess Club! Any suggestions as to how to celebrate or otherwise observe the 16th anniversary of its founding this coming January will be welcome. As usual, all ages and skill levels, from raw beginners to masters and all in between, are welcome. There are no dues, and there's no purchase required (but it would be nice). There usually is a chess puzzle to solve, and the first player to solve it on the first try wins a free tall Starbucks drink of choice!

So then, do drop in for a game of chess, make new friends, and renew old friendships!
