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.

All-England Clash

IN the second round of the European Senior Team Championship today the side I am playing for has been drawn against England's second team, and once again we have black on odd boards.

England 65+ 2 v England 65+ 3

Stephen Orton (2133) v Richard Freeman (1987)
John Quinn (2061) v David Tucker (1898)
Peter R Wood (1944) v Tim Spanton (1800)
Stephen M Williams (1793) v Robert Kane (1723)

Meanwhile my collection of chess pens has grown
