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 1946, my ECF is 1945 and my ICCF is 2346.

Morning Exercise
I HAVE been walking to Salmünster each morning for an espresso or two before play begins as all the cafes in Bad Soden have only machine-made coffee.
Early-morning view of Salmünster with the tower of St Peter & St Paul Church looming in the distance
The church was built from 1737-45, replacing an eighth-century building dating from the parish's founding by nearby Fulda Abbey
