CHESS today, Sunday June 22, 2025 at Starbucks!

Hello Everyone...!

It's officially summertime, and we continue to enjoy the fun and challenge of chess over the boards at our regular Starbucks venue every Sunday and Wednesday afternoon from 3:00pm through to closing time. We're at 1536 Kirker Pass Rd., in the Clayton Shopping Center. All ages and skill levels are welcome to come and go anytime. There are no dues. There usually is a chess puzzle to solve, and the first to solve it on the first try wins a free tall Starbucks drink of choice!

In our last session, amid the sharp group of chess players who were there was a player we have not seen in many, many years. He is Tom H., who recently turned 93 and has overcome a serious injury that has kept him away for so long a time. Welcome back, Tom!! ... And here's to all our chess players who are also game to meet new friends, and yes, to renew old friendships!
