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.

Summing Up Cap Negret
MY score in the 65+ seniors of +3=4-1 (I also took a half-point bye) gained 2.6 Fide elo.
I won the third prize for those rated 1901-2100, which means I should receive 100 euros, minus Spain's withholding tax, which I understand is not insignificant.
Okay,succes there.I was looking for a tournament before Marienbad but couldn t find one.maybe in februari in Weimar (7 round) and end of march in Rottach-Egern.
Still a good tournament,only pitty due the blunder in game 9
ReplyDeleteCan happend. What is your next tournament?
Next up is Benidorm, at the Bali. This year it's nine rounds over seven days, so I am taking a half-point bye on each of the double-round days.

DeleteThe problem with Rottach-Egern, from my viewpoint, is that it clashes with Bad Woerishofen, which is another of my favourite tournaments!
DeleteThat,s also the case with Bischofsgrun and Bad Herrenalb
ReplyDeleteYes, really annoying! I played in those two for the first time this year, and hoped to play both next year.
