Hi Everyone . . . !
There's chess over the boards
as usual at Starbucks, located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., Clayton, Calif., this
Wednesday evening from 6pm - 9pm, come by anytime, the earlier the better for
the best tables, more games, and some really nice company!
Last week's session was not
only fun with Rich, Carl, Tony, Anthony, Hans, John S., and Mike T. among the
players, but also quite informative, as FM Rich K. is always open to analyzing
the game you just played against him! Rich remembers playing 6-time
National Chess Champion Walter Browne several times in past tournaments, and
winning a match in which Browne resigned before Rich could checkmate him in
about two more moves! (Most of the chess world has heard or seen the news
by now that Walter Browne passed away at the age of 66 a week ago, in between
matches at the 50th Anniversary USCF National Open in Las Vegas, Nevada.)
