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 1885, my ECF is 1924 and my ICCF is 2277.

Double Blow
HYSTERIA19 has struck twice in 24 hours, leading to the cancellation of this weekend's Northwick Park congress in North London and the annual Hastings tournaments.
Just received this comment from a Hastings entrant who may wish to remain anonymous: "All the organisers need is three jabs..........followed swiftly by a right hook!"
