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 2012, my ECF is 1965 and my ICCF is 2325.

A Curious Incident In The Daytime
A POSITION similar to the following was reached on board 40 in the seniors at Bregenz this morning.
White played 1.Qxg6+.
Black thought for a long time and then played 1...fxg6, at which White threw his hands up in horror and resigned.
