CHESS this Sunday, September 15, 2024 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

Last Wednesday's session of chess over the boards saw at least a dozen players come by for the fun and challenge of the game. We welcomed yet another player new to the club, and he is Amar. There to welcome Amar and get him into several games were Ben C., Meredith, Benoit, Tony, Irakli, Mike T., Bert, Alex S., Matthew, Mark, and Willie! This time it was Ben C. who was first to solve the day's chess puzzle on the first try!

We meet again this Sunday, September 15, 2024, as we do every Wednesday and Sunday afternoon. Many more players of all skill levels, from beginners to masters, are expected to come by to play all kinds of chess games, on or off the clock, at our regular Starbucks venue at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., in the Clayton Shopping Center, very near the intersection of Clayton Rd. and Ygnacio Valley Rd.

Our sessions start at 3:00 p.m. and go through closing time (8:30 p.m.) as players can come and go anytime; there are no dues; there's no purchase required (but it would be nice); and, there usually is a chess puzzle to solve, and the first to solve it on the first try wins a free tall Starbucks drink of choice! You will at least win new friends, and perhaps even renew old friendships --- see you there!
