CHESS this Sunday, July 28, 2024 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

More players new to the club dropped by this past Wednesday afternoon to play chess over the boards and, as expected, they made several new friends! There to welcome Darren, Eric, Kyle and John R. were Ben C., Tony, Mike T., Irakli, Bert, Red, Matthew, and Maria (long time, no see Maria and her son Sebastian)!

We meet every Wednesday and Sunday afternoon, from 3:00 p.m. through to closing time, at our regular Starbucks venue located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., in the Clayton Shopping Center, just up from the intersection of Ygnacio Valley Rd. and Clayton Rd. We meet again this Sunday, July 28, 2024. Players come and go anytime, there's no purchase required (but it would be nice), and there are no dues! All ages and skill levels are welcome, and don't be surprised to see a few kids play chess! There usually is a chess puzzle to solve, and the player who solves it on the first try wins a tall Starbucks drink of choice! Last Wednesday's puzzle was indeed a tough one, as no one won the prize. This Sunday's puzzle promises to be much easier... maybe.

Stay tuned for our rated club tournament details, coming soon! See you Sunday?
