How about a cup of coffee and a game of chess?
Think they go together?
Ok, let's be honest here! ... the cup of coffee really isn't that... it's a macchiatto, a frappe, a latte, a hot mocha... right?
The coffee crazy has addicted so many of us coast to coast. Talk about chess addiction? Now it's double addiction.
Thousands of unique coffee joints offer a quiet place to play chess, but most of the time you've gotta bring your own chess set. How would you like it if more shops provide a nice chess set just for you to play?
A few years ago, I placed a nice small wood chess set into Woods coffee. I couldn't believe how much people loved to play with that chess set.
Yet, I could never predict who it would be! Last time, a dad and his 5 year old daughter were playing. He seemed to enjoy the time with his daughter immensely... what great way to spend time with her. She was obviously loving this chance to play her dad.
In Michigan, I ran across a Starbucks offering a small artistic wood chess set ready for anyone joining the 4 chair seating.
Like the idea?
Let's bring it on. Where do you want to see a chess set? Where have you ALREADY seen a chess set? Let's hear from our current and future double-addicts.
