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 2009, my ECF is 1955 and my ICCF is 2325.

German Opposition

WE face Germany Women in this afternoon's final round.

Germany Women v England 3

Brigitte Burchardt (2142) v Richard Freeman (1987)
Annett Wagner-Michel (2078) v David Tucker (1898)
Mira Kierzek (1937) v Tim Spanton (1800)
Liubov Orlova (1990) v Robert Kane (1723)

The hotel where I and many other players are staying is a good 10-minute walk from Świdnica old town, and for several days I was walking to and fro along a busyish road, but then I discovered the option of a side-route through an attractive park
