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.

German Congress

AM making final preparations for flying to Munich tomorrow for the 41st annual Bad Wörishofen chess festival.

Organised by ChessOrg.de, it is split into three sections: open, seniors and U2000.

I have entered the seniors, which has 157 entries, including two international masters and six Fide masters.

All three tournaments start on Friday, and consist of nine mostly-afternoon rounds over nine days.
