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.

Swiss Swizz

I TOLD in an earlier post how I got an exchange rate of 1.2367 Swiss francs for a pound at the Victoria XE on Monday.

Since I paid £300, a quick calculation shows I received 371 Swiss francs.

Today at Heathrow Terminal 2 the rate from Travelex is 1.0066, meaning £300 would buy just under 302 Swiss francs.

In other words, the Victoria rate is 22.85% better than the airport rate.
