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.

615 Years And Counting
Parts of Prague's astronomical clock date back to 1410, when it was added to the tower of what was then the town hall
Impressive.Great history there in Prague.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, and there is a lot of history in the championships too: Jansa (b 1942), Westerinen (b 1945), Pribyl (1947), et al
DeleteNice that Jansa still play.
ReplyDeleteI saw Westerinen and Pribyl a few years ago in Bad Bertrich and Bad Grieschbach Seniors.
It's great seeing people after whom opening variations are named!
