CHESS this Wednesday, Nov. 27th at Starbucks!


Hi Everyone . . . and have a very fine Thanksgiving Day!

Chess players of all skill levels are most welcome for fun, challenging chess over the boards this Wednesday, November 27, 2019, between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. (come by anytime), at Starbucks, located at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., Clayton, Calif. . . . Starbucks confirmed that they'll be open regular hours, despite Thanksgiving being the very next day.

Last week's session saw at least 15 or more players enjoying an evening of chess, regular matches along with some speed chess, matches both on and off the clock . . . as we welcomed Dennis, whose business location in Concord (Mona's Bar & Grill on Clayton Road) just might be another venue for yet another night of the week for chess players !  More details regarding this news will come your way in the near future.  In the meantime, some players have expressed a preference for a second chess day or night to be on a Friday . . . what say you?

Along with Dennis were Diego, Tony, Mike T., Amir, Bobby, David W., Rich K., Burt, Jonathan, Johnny, Shams, Chris B., Guru, John S., and Hossam at the tables, on a very active chess evening!

If you haven't been by in a while, drop in, get a game or two in, renew old friendships, make new ones!  See you soon!
