CHESS this Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

We meet every Wednesday and Sunday afternoon from 3pm to closing time at our regular Starbucks venue in the Clayton Shopping Center, and last Sunday's turnout of players was quite good, to include our welcoming Nick, yet another new player to the club.

Players of all ages and skill levels are welcome; there are no dues; and, the first to solve the day's chess puzzle on the first try wins a free tall Starbucks drink of choice. (No player won the prize, but word was that it was irakli who solved it.)

We meet again this Wednesday, November 12th, and this writer has got to get serious about preparing for the 17th Annual Golden State Open, which will attract several hundred players along with our club regulars this coming long MLKing weekend in January 2026 at the Concord Hilton!

And... there's still the challenge and a lot of fun in our regular sessions of chess over the boards, with the added benefit of being among friends, both new and old! See you soon!
