CHESS this Sunday June 23, 2024 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

We meet every Sunday and Wednesday afternoons from 3:00 p.m. through closing at our usual Starbucks venue for fun, challenging chess over the boards! Players come and go anytime, there are no dues, all ages and skill levels are welcome, and there's no purchase required. Additionally, there usually is a chess puzzle to solve, and the first one to solve it on the first try wins a free tall Starbucks drink of choice! This past Wednesday's puzzle must have been a tough one, as no one solved it on the first try...!

Last Wednesday's session saw a smaller crowd of players at the game, with Ben and Sam there along with other players including Mike T and Tony, with the latter two adjourning a very tight game for the next time they meet.

Sunday's session promises to be a lively one, with several more players, including a couple new to the club, and with at least four or more players possibly playing in impromptu unrated Blitz Quads (G/5.inc.2) with an entry fee and prize fund agreed to by each player.

So then, perhaps we will see you there to have fun with chess and to make new friends as well as possibly renewing old friendships!
