BEAU CHESS - the post-work workings-out of a chess amateur

I begin this blog after getting back into league chess following many years' absence due to work. My post-job status also means I am able to play more tournament chess. My new club in London is Battersea and my first game for them is on Thursday September 14, 2017. I start with a Fide rating of 1858, an ECF grade of 169 (=1968 elo) and an ICCF correspondence rating of 2267. My current Fide is 2009, my ECF is 1955 and my ICCF is 2325.

FACED juniors in my two games today at the Berks & Bucks Challengers, beating one (1584 Fide/128 ECF) and losing to the other (1762 Fide/158 ECF).
That gave me an elo loss for the day of 12.8, and 28.2 for the tournament, reducing my live rating to 1946.8.
Once again my twin bugbears - playing too quickly; overestimating my position - played big parts.
