Crossroads mall is a good place in Bellevue. And Louisa's in Seattle is nice little place too.

I am in Seattle

Then both those places would be easy for you to get to.

Ah, so that's why you posted the thread about the Canadian open.

Yes indeed, Nancy Drew. 😉

Never heard of Louisa - are you talking about the Mexican place in Crown Hill, or the coffeehouse on Eastlake?

I don't know how the poor little coffee shop would cope with a bunch of rowdy chess players though.

Anyway, i've always thought that small time coffee shops (ie not Starbucks or Seattle's best) are an ideal place for a few games of chess.

Indeed, not Starbucks! The tables are too small for one.

Seattle's worst has shops? Glad I haven't been in those.


A couple of us in Spokane are talking about turning the Rocket downtown into a chess cafe.
