CHESS & Games this Wednesday at Starbucks!


Hi Everyone . . . !

This Wednesday, November 27, 2018, there's more chess over the boards, along with other games of interest (e.g., Scattergories, Balderdash, etc.) at Starbucks, located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., Clayton, Calif., from 4:30 pm - 9:00 pm.  Though we start an hour earlier, come by anytime!

We had a dozen chess players last week despite some chilly and damp weather, and a few of them, including Chris Th., Greg, Max, Mike T., and Ann, played both Chess and Scattergories! 

See you soon,

There's real fun, challenging chess over the boards this Wednesday, November 21, 2018, from 5:30 pm - 9:00 pm at Starbucks, located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., Clayton, Calif.  Come by anytime, the earlier the better for the better tables, more matches, and some really nice company!  No dues, no purchase required (but it would be nice).

Would you want to play USCF-rated chess matches?  We may have just what you want on Saturday, December 15, at a venue nearby (probably Carl's Jr. across from the above Starbucks)!  Let me know ahead of time if you're game for it that day.  Figure a 4 or 3-round swiss or quads; G/45;d5 . . . EF only $15 ahead of time, $20 on game day, and 80% returned in cash prizes!

See you soon,
