CHESS this Wednesday, October 30th at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

Nearly 20 players of all ages and skill levels were at the chessboards this past Sunday. We welcomed back players we haven't seen in a while, like Evan and his mom Erin and brother Zane; and, Mark M. as well as Olaf. Rounding out the action over the boards were Max (who was first to solve the day's chess puzzle on the first try to win a free tall drink), Dan G., Ben C., Sam, Benoit, Alex S., David T., Red, David S., Anh, Anson with mom So, Lou, Adam M., Mike T., and Tony!

We meet again this Wednesday, October 30, 2024, from 3:00 p.m. through to closing time at our regular Starbucks venue. By approximately 5:00 p.m., the player who is voted as having the best Halloween-themed feature or look while playing chess wins a free tall Starbucks drink of choice! All ages and skill levels are welcome; players can come and go anytime; there are no dues; and, there's no purchase required (but it would be nice).

Looking ahead: We'll have a USCF-rated club tournament on Sunday, November 10th. Complete details, entry fees, requirements, etc. may be found by clicking the on Upcoming Club Tournaments tab.

Also ahead, Dan G. is hosting, on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the Lamorinda Chess Club's "Moraga Chess Happy Hour" at the Canyon Club Brewery, located at 1558 Canyon Rd., in Moraga. All ages are welcome; there should be plenty of chess sets available for use; and attendees are encouraged to enjoy some food and drink while playing chess!

See you soon, game to play and make new friends, perhaps even renew old friendships!
