CHESS this Wednesday, October 9, 2024 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

It was really nice to see at least a dozen players enjoy an afternoon and evening of chess over the boards this past Sunday, despite the heat of the day, and a 49ers game on the telly. Suhas was there with his dad Prudi, as were Alex S., David T., Tony, Red, Vishwa with Tyas, Mike T., Adam M., Trammy with her brother Anh, and Dan G.

We meet again this Wednesday, October 9th, at our regular Starbucks venue, located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., in the Clayton Shopping Center, just a couple driveways up from the intersection of Clayton Rd. and Ygnacio Valley Rd., right on the border of Concord and Clayton. All ages and skill levels are welcome; there are no dues; and, there's no purchase required (but it would be nice to buy something). 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!

Dan G. played a game and invited everyone in our chess club to join a chess session on Saturday, October 19th from 3:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. at the Europa Hofbrau, located at 64 Moraga Way, in Orinda. Dan is starting up the Lamorinda Chess Club. All ages and skill levels are welcome; he will have some chess sets available for those who don't bring their own sets; and, there is an expectation that players are to spend a minimum of $10 for food or beverage at the restaurant.

See you soon, game for chess, and to make new friends, even renew old friendships!
