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.

Summing Up Torquay

MY score in the Riviera afternoon open of +1=3-1 gained exactly 18 ECF elo.

I may have shared in a five-way tie for the £50 rating prize, although it is hard to be sure as the final standings have not yet been posted at chess-results.com.

[Addendum: it seems there was a six-way tie for the U1900 rating prize.]
