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 1913, my ECF is 1904 and my ICCF is 2330.

Riviera Chess

AM making final preparations for traveling to Torquay tomorrow for the third Riviera congress on the Devon coast.

There are two morning tournaments and two afternoon ones, all ECF and Fide rated, with pairings

apparently based on players' live ECF ratings.

I have entered the open, which has seven daily rounds at 14:30, ending next Friday.

The time control for all tournaments is 90 minutes, with a 30-second increment, and there are 85 entrants.
