CHESS this Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

Last Sunday's session of chess over the boards saw at least 3 more players new to the club, but not to the game of chess: Steven, Long, and Pedro! We also welcomed back, after quite a long absence, Patrick! Though I had to leave early (for a silly Oscars Party), I did see that there were several club players there to make all four feel quite welcome. Thanks much to all for the spirit of making new friends and renewing old friendships!

We meet every Sunday and Wednesday afternoons at our usual Starbucks venue located in the Clayton Shopping Center, just up from the intersection of Ygnacio Valley Rd. and Clayton Rd. All ages and skill levels are welcome, and players can come and go anytime as we meet from 3:00 p.m. through to closing time! 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!

See you soon, and, by the way, we will be having a USCF-rated tournament later this month or early next month, so stay tuned for details!
