CHESS this Wednesday, March 26, 2025 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

Our ever-growing chess club meets every Sunday and Wednesday afternoons, from 3:00 p.m. to closing time, at the Starbucks located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., in the Clayton Shopping Center. We meet again this Wednesday, March 26, 2025 and as always, players of all ages and skill levels are welcome to join and come and go anytime!

Last Sunday's session saw upward of 20 or more players and chess enthusiasts coming by to enjoy an afternoon and perhaps an early evening of fun, challenging chess over the boards. However, something unusual happened... The Starbucks shift supervisor had to require an evacuation of the entire store due to something that happened in one of the restrooms, requiring a call for a HAZMAT inspection and clean-up! So... all or most of the chess players moved to Carl's Jr. Restaurant, across the side parking lot.

Last Saturday's "test session" at the Starbucks located at 1900 Contra Costa Blvd. in Pleasant Hill was a success, thanks to 10 or more chess players, several of whom indicated that it was a good location for the "Chess & Games" sessions to be held there every Saturday from 2:00 p.m. on through closing time. We will therefore hold another session there next Saturday!
