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.

Getting There (Bregenz)

CAUGHT British Airways' 11:55 from Heathrow to Zurich, and then a train direct from the airport to Bregenz, reaching my hotel shortly after 17:00 central European time.

Bregenz has hosted an opera every year since 1946, covid excepting, on the world's largest 'floating' opera stage, which is being made ready for this summer's performance of Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz (The Marksman)
