Hi Everyone . . . !
Yesterday's chess session at Panera Bread Restaurant saw
about 9 or 10 players get together for some challenging fun over the boards,
with the highlight being Priya's two consecutive, spectacular victories over a
couple of higher rated players! Adding to the fun of the afternoon was
Reza possibly going undefeated, and everyone meeting yet another new player by name
of Justin, whose first game was with Jackie, and ended in a solid
draw! Very much in the mix were Chris B., Carl, Bob, Tony, and Mike T.,
who once again blundered his way to a loss to Tony!
The Contra Costa Chess Club meets every Wednesday evening at
the Starbucks located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., from 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
We welcome players of all ages and skill levels; there are no dues, and no
purchase required (but it would be nice)...
... and speaking of calendar dates, we'll have our first
Quads on Sunday, September 9, 2018. The location is yet to be determined but will be
near out usual Starbucks location. Figure 4 to 8 players, no more than 12
players for the first time; One day only each month; Time control Game 45
minutes a side with a 5-sec delay (G/45 d5). All games are rated games. All players must be current members of the US Chess Federation. It's a
great opportunity for unrated players to get started! So then, let me
know if you have questions and/or want to reserve a spot on the first
Quads! More details will be forthcoming, e.g., reasonable entry fees, cash
prizes, starting times, etc.
See you soon!
