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 1902, my ECF is 1913 and my ICCF is 2277.

Hot Air

GOT up reasonably early this morning.

View from my hotel balcony

After breakfast I headed into town in search of a decent espresso.

I was unsuccessful, but in the distance I saw what seemed to be a hot-air balloon, or possibly an advertising hoarding.

Morning glory

Moving on, and sneaking a view between Rottach-Egern's buildings, I could see it was definitely a hot-air balloon.

Sneaky view

It was not long before the balloon came into full view.

Full view

And soon it dominated the lens.
