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.

How Much Is 100 Euros Worth?
YOU may recall I won a 100-euro rating prize at the Cap Negret 65+ seniors earlier this month, but commented that a big chunk of it would be eaten up by Spain's withholding tax on prize money. Yesterday my current account was boosted by £61.12.
Part of that could be bank charges (Spanish and English). Luckily you did not win a blanket or you might end up being sheeted.
ReplyDeleteEither way, my winnings did not cover my outings ... even for a day.
