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 (Hotel Blau)

CAUGHT Ryanair's 12:50 from Stansted, except it was almost two hours late taking off and landing due to the incoming flight being delayed (we were not given an explanation for that).

From Mallorca airport I got a cab - I planned to travel by A17 bus, followed by transferring to a 517, but could not find the A17 stop - arriving at Hotel Blau, the venue for the tournaments in the southeast of the island, well before 19:00.

I think it's the A51 to Campos & 517 from there. Good luck.
