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.

The Venue
THE Olomouc summer chess festival is being held at the city's Hotel Flora.
Hotel entrance
There are two tournament halls, including this one for the senior events and the round-robins
The hotel gets better every year, mainly through little upgrades. Last year the weather was sweltering, so this year I have paid extra for a "superior" room, ie one with aircon. Needless to say the weather is nowhere near sweltering, but having aircon is very nice anyway.
Good luck,the space looks good in the hall
ReplyDeleteHopefully is the weather ok and not to hot.
Enjoy it!
