CHESS this Sunday, Dec. 21 and Wednesday, Dec. 24 at Starbucks!

Hi Everyone!

It's certainly the season, Holiday Greetings to All...!!

Chess players of all ages and skill levels are more than welcome to enjoy the fun and challenge of the game of chess this Sunday at our regular Starbucks venue in the Clayton Shopping Center! We're there as usual from 3:00 p.m. on through closing time... but do note that on Wednesday, December 24th chess players can start earlier, from 2:00 pm on in the afternoon to get a game of two in. Also note that this weekend's weather seems to promise to be a fairly wet, rainy one!

Last Sunday we met and welcomed Carla and her family to the chess club, and they merged very well with at least a dozen of our regular players. Daniel C. was the first player to solve the day's puzzle on the first try, to win his tall Starbucks strawberry lemonade!

Last Wednesday saw another dozen players brave the chill air to play chess, and we welcomed yet another first-timer to the club, Charlie G.! Charlie likes speed chess, and chess overall, as he is a very busy assistant instructor at a nearby school's after-school chess program!

See you very soon!
