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.

Russian has more-or-less disappeared, but the Russian Orthodox Church, restored after being used as a storehouse in WW2, remains in fine nick
