CHESS this Wednesday, February 5, 2025 at Starbucks!

Hello Everyone!

At least 20 players came by our regular Starbucks venue this past Sunday to enjoy the game of chess over the boards! We welcomed Kellen and his mom and dad, Ian and Liz, along with Kellen's twin brother. There to welcome them were Sam (who solved the day's chess puzzle), Ben, Benoit, Tony, Mike T., Adam MacD, David T., Alex S., Lou, Raj, Arian and dad Arun, Rich K., Red, new player Ray, Daniel C., Willie, and another fellow named David... did I miss anyone?

We meet again this Wednesday, February 5, 2025, from 3pm through to closing, at the same place. Hopefully the weather will be pretty good. We always meet every Sunday and Wednesday afternoons, same time, same place, just know that next Sunday afternoon, February 9, 2025 is the NFL Super Bowl, but I have heard that there will be several chess players who don't care much for the sport, and will rather play chess!

So then, we'll see you soon, game for chess and to make new friends, and perhaps even renew old friendships (it was really nice to see National Master (NM) Rich K. come by to get some games in, after a long absence!
