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.

Another prom view
I TOOK a half-point bye in the first of today's two rounds as part of my taking-a-step-back campaign.
For helpful observations on motivation and time management I would recommend "The secret ingredient" by Markos and Navarra ..BK
ReplyDeleteI've seen that book, but not read it - worth the price of admission?
ReplyDeleteI thought so, time management section includes, tiredness, using opponents time,psychology, increments etc good practical advice .
DeleteThanks. I'll have to take a second look at the book.
