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 1954, my ECF is 1940 and my ICCF is 2331.

Exploring Upper Bregenz

THE quickest way to get to upper Bregenz, aka old Bregenz, from the lakeside modern town is up a paved steep path to the tower gateway.

It is also possible to skirt round to the rear, enjoying tantalising views on the way

Path through Bregenz vineyards

Closing in on a side entrance

Sections of medieval walls are soon glimpsed

Old and new

St Martin's Tower, which began in about 1250 as a warehouse before becoming the upper town's main lookout point around 1600
