Checkmate & Chill

Seattle Freeze got you down? Come play (or learn) a game and actually talk to someone.

I'll be at starbucks with a board set up, ready to play — win, lose, or draw doesn't matter, I'm mostly here for good conversation and the occasional good blunder. All skill levels welcome, whether you're a regular player or haven't touched a board since childhood.
We'll play, chat tactics after, and see where the conversation goes. Not really here for small talk — more interested in real, 1:1 conversations. 中文也可以 (Cantonese/Mandarin is fine too).
📍 Where: SLU starbucks in Terry and Republican Ave, max 3 person
🕐 When: Every saturday 11am
♟️ Bring: Just yourself — I'll have a board. (Feel free to bring your own if you'd rather play on it.)
Skill level: All welcome — I'm ~1800 on Lichess classical, but rating is irrelevant here.
