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.

Lesa Is More

AM making final preparations for flying to Milan tomorrow, from where I will be traveling to Lesa, a town on the Italian part of Lake Maggiore.

I will be playing in a five-round weekender, part of the SwissChessTour.

There is one open tournament, with a round on Friday evening followed by morning and afternoon rounds on Saturday and Sunday.

The time control is 90 minutes, with a 30-second increment, and there are 51 entries representing 11 countries, headed by international masters from India and Albania.
