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.

Getting There (Davos)

I CAUGHT British Airways' 11:45 flight from London City to Zurich.

Then I took a train to Zurich main station, switched to a train to Landquart, and finally caught one to Davos.

That is plenty of locomotives for one day, especially when the Docklands Light Railway is added, but the scenery, from lakes to snow-capped mountains, was stunning.

I reached my hotel, with its somewhat quaint entrance, at 18:05 local time
