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.

Carlsen-Niemann Fallout
SAT in The Shakespeare in Bethnal Green Road this evening, sipping a glass of red wine, when one of the regulars enters, comes up to me and says: "Is it true all chess players are cheats?"
