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 1915, my ECF is 1929 and my ICCF is 2356.

Summing Up Kraków
MY score in the 60+ seniors of +4=3-1 (I also took a halfpoint bye) gained 15.4 Fide elo.
The final standings are here - scroll down and you will see one player managed to lose 175 elo. Kraków main square
For some reason I do not understand, the video seems to work on laptops, but not on mobiles
Progress, in some ways, but still too many mistakes, and too many cases of over-optimistic in-game evaluations. Actually we had quite a few days of snow, but it was light and generally did not settle. I suspect Mariánské Lazne will be different!
The result is good if I may say..progress.
ReplyDeleteNice square there,looks peacefull.
A pitty that there where no snow!
