CHESS this Wednesday, August 21, 2024 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

More than 20 players came by our regular Starbucks venue this past Sunday, August 18th, to enjoy an afternoon of chess over the boards! Young Sophia was there for the first time, with her Dad Bill, and she played some chess games with young Samuel, who was there with his Dad Allen and Mom Rochelle! There to welcome them and play all kinds of chess games (including "Brain & Hand") were: Ben C., Reza, David T., Kassy, Trey, Daniel U., Red, Mike T., Daniel C., Sam, Jackson, Julia, Meredith, Kevin, Lou, Alex, Jordy, and Cory! Did I miss anyone? A group of 5 chess players even went over to the Curry Bowl and enjoyed some rather tasty Indian food after chess!

We continue to meet every Wednesday and Sunday afternoon for lively chess over the boards, and all ages and skill levels are welcome! We meet from 3:00 p.m. on through closing time at the Starbucks located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., in the Clayton Shopping Center, just a couple driveways up from the intersection of Ygnacio Valley Rd. and Clayton Rd., right on the border of Clayton and Concord. There are no dues; come and go anytime; and, there's no purchase requirement (but it would be nice to buy something). However, If you have food and drink from other shops, please enjoy them, but on the tables outside, where chess can also be played.

Our next session is this Wednesday, August 21, 2024, same time, same place,and the number of players joining the fun on Wednesday afternoons is increasing, so do come by to enjoy the game, and make new friends, and even renew old friendships!
