CHESS this Sunday, October 5, 2025 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

We meet every Wednesday and Sunday afternoon from 3:00 p.m. to closing time at our regular venue, the Starbucks located in the Clayton Shopping Center, for the fun and challenge of chess over the boards!

We welcome players of all ages and skill levels, and this past Wednesday we certainly welcomed 8-year old twins Jayden and Aaron, along with their 10-year old sister Kaya, as all three are learning how to play and enjoy the game of chess! We also welcomed a young man named Jesus; and, we also welcomed back Wesley after a short absence -- and oh yes, after a long absence . . . Irakli!

The offer or challenge is still good, that is, win one two-game set against a certain member of this chess club mentioned in a previous post -- once playing the white pieces and once playing the black pieces between now and the Golden State Open in January 2026 -- and win a grande Starbucks drink of choice!

Perhaps we will see you this coming Sunday, October 5th, ready to enjoy a chess game or two or three, and to make new friends, and perhaps even renew old friendships! There will also be a chess puzzle to solve, and the first player to solve it on the first try wins a free tall Starbucks drink of choice! See you there!
