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.

Double Shot

HAD my second AstraZeneca shot this morning.

I got to the vax centre almost 30 minutes early, hoping to find somewhere to have an espresso while waiting for my appointment.

But noticing the waiting area was empty, I went up to one of the volunteers and was ushered straight in.

My vaccination card

As a minor aside, I wonder if people's confidence in the AstraZeneca jabs would increase if the staff administering them could write the name correctly?

HAHA Asbra Zenica. The phrase worth its weight in gold needs to be replaced, it's quite an understatement.
That such a small piece of paper gives freedom is scary.

Unfortunately the vaccination card, although pretty, is unlikely to be accepted anywhere as a vaccine passport. For that you need the NHS app (not to be confused with the NHS trace-and-test app) or a paper certificate (the latter obtainable by dialling 119).
