This past Saturday, I arrived a little late to the Lathrop Chess Club and was greeted by the warm murmur of friendly conversations, the soft clack of chess pieces being moved, and the steady pulse of a room alive with focus. Every chair was taken, the tables crowded with players bent over boards as if the room itself were a single, breathing library of chess possibilities. The sight filled me with a wonderful sense of belonging: a familiar and welcome proof that a chess community exists in Lathrop, California.
The Lathrop Chess Club meets every first and third Saturday from 12:30-2:00 pm in the library.
