CHESS this Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

We meet every Sunday and Wednesday afternoon from 3:00 p.m. through to closing time at our usual Starbucks venue located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., in the Clayton Shopping Center. Our next session is this Wednesday, April 9, 2025 and, as usual, all ages and skill levels are welcome, from beginners to masters!. There are no dues, and players can come and go anytime. There usually is a chess puzzle to solve, and the first player to solve it on his or her first try wins a free tall Starbucks drink of choice!

Last Sunday's session saw players welcome Jessika and her Dad John to the club. Among players there to welcome them were Arun and Arian; Ben, Benoit, David T.,Tony, Matt S., Matt R., Mike T., Reza, Lou, Red, Will, Adam MacD, among perhaps a few more there to have fun with the challenge of chess and to make new friends, and renew old friendships! Mark even dropped by later with Bo the Doggy!

We now also have Saturday sessions at the Starbucks located at 1900 Contra Costa Blvd. in Pleasant Hill. Players are there from 2:00 p.m. through to closing time, and don't be surprised if games other than chess are on the tables there!

See you soon, and we may have a USCF- rated club tournament in May, so stay tuned!
