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.

Playing Conditions

THE Tegernsee tournament is being played at the Seeforum, a lakeside cultural centre in Rottach-Egern.

Thanks to the German/Bavarian equivalent of social distancing, numbers were limited to 122, I believe, although in the event only 113 showed up.

The main tournament hall

This has made for spacious playing conditions, with masks mandatory while walking about the centre.

The organisers have also recommended wearing masks at the board, but almost no one is.
