Hi Everyone . . . !
Just a short note reminder that there's more fun, challenging chess for all ages and skill levels over the boards this Wednesday evening, November 1, 2017, at Starbucks, located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., Clayton, Calif., from 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., come by anytime, the earlier the better for the better tables, more games, and some really nice, interesting company!

About a dozen players enjoyed an evening of chess last week. . . and note that beginning in this month's issue of The Diablo Gazette you will see our club listed in its Calendar Section. 

 See you again soon, and in the meantime, enjoy Halloween!

Hi Everyone . . . !
There's lots more chess as usual over the boards this Wednesday evening, October 18, 2017, at Starbucks located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., Clayton, Calif., from 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.  Come by anytime, the earlier the better for the better tables, more games, and some really nice, fun, interesting company!

Despite the smokey air conditions due to the fires in wine country last week, our session last Wednesday at Starbucks still saw a dozen players settle in for an evening of challenging chess. Our session this past Sunday at Panera Bread saw another 15 players enjoy an afternoon of chess, and we welcomed two new players to the club!  On hand to welcome Howard at the start of the afternoon, and young Tyler later in the day, were Ken, Tony T., Sol, Chris B., Reza, Priya, Bob C., Jon and Max, John and Josh, Hanza, and Mike T. . . . !
So then, come by and see us as we welcome players of all ages and skill levels, from novices to masters and all in between, renew old friendships, make new ones!

See you soon,
