CHESS this Wednesday, December 11, 2024 at Starbucks!

Hello Everyone! We meet again this Wednesday, December 11, 2024 at our usual Starbucks venue, in the Clayton Shopping Center, where we have chess over the boards every Sunday and Wednesday afternoons, and go from 3:00 p.m. on through closing time! 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). There usually is a chess puzzle to solve, and the first to solve it wins a free tall Starbucks drink of choice!

At least 14 or more players came by last Sunday, and we nearly had enough players to start a Quad or two, but it was a bit late in the day to get one going. We can always try again this Wednesday. There to have fun and enjoy the challenges of chess was a player new to the club, Logan, with his Dad Adam, both welcomed by Sam, Ben, David T., Mike T., Lou, Red, Keho, Adam M., Arian and son Arun, along with Nathan and his Dad Gene; and there was, late in the evening, an older gentleman whose name remains unknown as of this writing.

So then, perhaps we'll see you soon, along with a student or two home for the upcoming holidays from faraway colleges to get some games of chess in while certainly making new friends and yes, renewing old friendships!
