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

Ruzaj Lingvistoj

THE artificial language Esperanto was, relatively speaking, particularly popular in Czechoslovakia between the world wars.

Its use was supressed by the Nazis, and then by the Communists, and never really recovered, not least thanks to English becoming ever more widely accepted as the world's international language.
