Last week I attended the Wednesday night “Chess Night” at Thompsons. This is a great effort to try to bring a positive activity to our neighborhood and to get neighbors of all races and dispositions intermingling.

Savior, who is organizing the nights said to me, “Chess is a thinking person’s game, and this is an opportunity to bring the thinkers in the community together.”

Sounds like a noble goal to me. There were a half dozen players last week and some others who came just to enjoy the food.

If you want to grab some food first, try coming around 7:00 PM, games seemed to start around 8:00. Bring a chess board and pieces if you have one.
