CHESS this Weds. Aug. 7th & Sun. Aug. 11th at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

We meet again, as we do every Wednesday and Sunday afternoon, this coming Wednesday, August 7 and Sunday, August 11, 2024 at our regular Starbucks venue located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., in the Clayton Shopping Center, which is just a couple of driveways from the intersection of Ygnacio Valley Rd. and Clayton Rd., right on the border of Concord and Clayton, California! We go from 3:00 p.m. through to closing time, as players can 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 most welcome, from beginners to masters...

... and, in fact, we had a NM (National Master) drop in almost incognito this past Sunday!

Last Wednesday's session saw at least 10 players have a lot of fun with chess. We welcomed two players new to the club: Ezra and Aaron, and there to welcome them were Mike T., Tony, Ben C., Bert, returning player Angel, Red, Mark, and Irakli . . .

... and Sunday's chess crowd numbered at least 20 players, among whom were several kids game to play: Cowan, Tim, Anh, Serge, Suhas, and Trammy! They were definitely in the mix with Sam, Ben C., Reza, Max, Mike T., Brian, Kevin, Irakli, Tony, Mark, Red, Meredith, Anastasia, Prudi, David, and Rich K... did I miss anyone?

So then, perhaps we will see you this Wednesday and next Sunday, and don't be shy or surprised to make new friends, and renew old friendships!
