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 1922, my ECF is 1985 and my ICCF is 2331.

AM making final preparations for flying to Prague tomorrow for the CzechTour's Mariánské Lázně chess festival.

I have entered the nine-round seniors (50+), which starts on Saturday and runs through the following Saturday, meaning one double-round day.

There are 103 entries, including three from England and one from Scotland.

The weather can be challenging, as this photo from last year shows, but invigorating
