ROUNDS two and three at Bradford U171 saw me beat a 151 in 98 moves in a game I should have won much quicker but was lucky to recover after blundering my queen, and then I lost to a 159 after turning down a draw at a time when my opponent had the superior position but I had the greater arrogance.
I have drowned my sorrows this evening, but it is clear future success will need a sustained period of alcoholic abstinence.
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.
