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 1919, my ECF is 1921 and my ICCF is 2356.

Playing Conditions (Weimar)

Playing hall before the start of round one

The seniors' championship of Thuringia is divided into two sections, 50+ and 65+, but will be played as one group, principally, I am told, because there are many fewer entries in the 'junior' age group.

Meanwhile my luggage has still not turned up.

Yesterday I was told it would reach Frankfurt airport at 22:00 last night, and be delivered to my hotel today or possibly tomorrow.

The latest I have learnt from British Airways' tracking system is that my bag, as of Sunday lunchtime, has still not reached Frankfurt.
