CHESS this Wednesday, Sept. 11th, at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

We meet again this Wednesday, September 8th, at our regular Starbucks venue located in the Clayton Shopping Center at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., just a couple of driveways up from the nexus of Clayton Rd. and Ygnacio Valley Rd. We go from 3:00 p.m. through to closing time, as players can come and go anytime; there are no dues, nor is there a purchase requirement (but it would be nice to buy something). All ages and skill levels are welcome, from beginners to masters (and lately on Wednesdays, we've had a chess master drop in)!

We meet every Sunday afternoon as well, same place, same time, etc.!

Last Sunday's session was once again quite active, with at least 20 players at the fun and challenge of chess over the boards, with even a foursome finishing up a "Brain & Hand" match right at closing time! Seen at the chess boards were Kevin, David T., Ben, Daniel C., Suhas with sister Suhasra and mom Vandana and dad Pudri; Ranen with son Noah; Reza, Tony, Jackson, Irakli, Red, Alex S., Meredith, Matthew, Mike T., and Max, who solved the day's puzzle on his first try!

So then, stop by this Wednesday, get your game up, make new friends, even renew old friendships! There's usually a chess puzzle to solve, and the first to solve it on the first try wins a free tall Starbucks drink of choice!
