PLAYED at Coulsdon over the weekend, scoring +2=1-2.
I was pretty disappointed with my play, not least at missing numerous tactics, not helped by my old sin of playing too quickly.
My performance was enough to cost me 5.8 elo, and I felt as though I deserved to have lost more.
My mood was not improved on putting the games into ChessBase this evening and discovering even more errors than I had suspected.
And yet, when I came to check my ECF grading performance, I found I performed at 172.4 - comfortably more than my ECF grade of 167 ...
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 1946, my ECF is 1945 and my ICCF is 2346.
