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.

Darlington Venue
THE tournaments are being held at the town's modern Dolphin leisure centre.

The boards are far too close together. There should only be 3 boards where there are actually 4.
ReplyDeleteI can't argue with that. It's a shame, because otherwise the playing conditions are very good.
