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.

Royal Trumps
Statues commemorating the 1904 meeting in Mariánské Lázně between Britain's Edward VII (foreground) and Austria-Hungary's Franz Joseph - the former apparently tried to woo the latter from his alliance with Germany
