CHESS this Sunday, October 12, 2025 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

There's more fun, challenging chess over the boards this Sunday, Oct. 12th, at our regular Starbucks venue in the Clayton Shopping Center, which is just a couple driveways up from the intersection of Ygnacio Valley Rd. and Clayton Rd. We meet there every Wednesday and Sunday afternoon, as players of all ages and skill levels (from beginners to experts and masters) are welcome to come and go and play the game from 3:00 p.m. to closing time. There usually is a chess puzzle to solve, and the first player solving it on the first try wins a free tall Starbucks drink of choice!

Among about twenty or more players that stopped by to play chess last Sunday were at least 6 kids (e.g., Jayden, Aaron, Kaya, Lana, Samuel, Jacob) who whose ages ranged from 7 - 11 yrs. It was really cool to see an adult player or two or three help the ones who are beginners with the basics of the game!

Hope to see you there!
