Location: Starbucks

Hi everyone, ​

Let's play.

**Location:** Our usual rendezvous at the Starbucks in the Homestead Road Shopping Center. The one near the Safeway complex; next to Yayoi and Chipotle. GPS: 20676 W Homestead Rd, Cupertino, CA 95014

**Time:** We start coming in from 3.30p onwards, and usually stay till Starbucks closes. Players can be found both inside and outside the cafe.

### **💬 Notes & FAQ**

**Q: I didn’t see anyone when I arrived—was the meetup canceled?**
Nope! This group has met *every Saturday for 10+ years*. People come and go throughout the day. Some sit inside, others outside. If you don’t see players right away, give it a moment or look around—we’re there.

**Q: Who’s organizing this?**
This group was started over a decade ago and is now self-organized by the community. While I (Sudarshana) am currently based outside the Bay Area, I continue to steward this group from afar—and hope to return next year. The meetup keeps going because *you* show up. ❤️

**Q: I heard something about a different group / time / location?**
New chess groups are always forming—and that’s a good thing for the community. But this group is the original, and we *still* meet at the same Starbucks, same time, every Saturday. Just be mindful of any misinformation—this Meetup is active and ongoing. In fact, many players don’t even know it’s a Meetup—they just know: *Saturdays = Chess.* That’s the tradition we’ve built together.

**Q: Do I need to bring a board?**
Not at all. Just bring yourself. Boards show up like magic. Everyone plays with everyone.

**Q: What’s the vibe?**
Chill, kind, and welcoming. All ages and skill levels are encouraged. Win or lose, we’re here to enjoy the game and the company.

**We believe in being kind and excellent to each other - whether we win or lose the game.**

Live long and play chess!
