CHESS this Sunday, November 24, 2024 at Starbucks!

Hello Everyone!

Despite last Wednesday's unsettled weather due to the nearby atmospheric bomb cyclone river or whatever else it's called, a very nice group of chess players still dropped by for most of the afternoon and early evening to enjoy the game of chess and, yes, each other's company in a warm, coffeehouse atmosphere! Plus, we welcomed yet another player new to the club, a fellow named Michael. There to welcome him were Ben C., David T., Irakli, Mike T., Anson with So, Red, Tony, and Bert!

Our chess club meets again the afternoon of this coming Sunday, November 24th, as we do every Sunday and Wednesday, from 3:00 p.m. through to closing. All ages and skill levels are welcome; there are no dues; and, there's no purchase required (but it would be nice). 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!

Our next USCF-rated club tournament is slated for Sunday, December 8, 2024. Details may be found in recent posts and by visiting our Upcoming Club Tournaments page. And, by the way, if there's interest in having a USCF-rated Quad before then, even if simply played at Starbucks during our regular sessions, but played off to the side, let me know, and it just might be arranged.

See you very soon, set for chess and the possibility of making new friends and even renewing old friendships!
