Hi Everyone . . . !
There's chess to be played over
the boards in the cool, air-conditioned Starbucks located at 1536 Kirker Pass
Rd., Clayton, Calif., this Wednesday, August 19, 2015, from 6:00 p.m. - 9:00
PM. Come by anytime, the earlier the better for the best tables, more games,
and some really nice, interesting company!
Last week's session saw a great group of
chess enthusiasts enjoying the game, with FM Rich K., Lorenzo, Tony, Anthony, Chris,
Hans, Mike T., Bernard, Ana, Robert, Priya, Maria, John, Maria, and Sebastian
on hand to enjoy the contests in a fun coffeehouse atmosphere!

CHESS SIMUL SCHEDULED for SUNDAY SEPT. 20, 2015 with IM
RONALD CUSI . . . !!
And speaking of fun, mark your calendars for Sunday, September 20, 2015, at 2:00 p.m., at Carl's Jr. Restaurant (across the lot from Starbucks) for a short lecture and then a simultaneous (simul) exhibition of chess matches with IM-elect Ronald Cusi . . . ! Ron Cusi has done this with our chess club on two occasions over the past few years, playing an total of more than 40 players, winning on all boards and drawing on 1 . . . ! Ron was also able to give a brief analysis for interested players. He was later available for speed chess, giving most opponents 5 minutes and himself only 1 minute, and managing to win virtually every game!
The chess lecture is free, and
playing in the simul will cost only $5 payable on site. For the fun of it
all, players who win in the simul receive $10, draws receive $5 back. All
proceeds will go to the Contra Costa Chess Club, for Mr. Cusi and to offset any
expenses.
Respond to this email to
reserve your spot for the simul, as space is limited, (approx. 20-25 players or
so would be okay), or you can call or text the number below or let me know in
person, as a few have already done. Lots of room left, but please let me
know as soon as you can, thanks!
See you soon,
