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 1911, my ECF is 1939 and my ICCF is 2369.

Rhine Chess

AM making final preparations for traveling tomorrow to Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, a spa town in Rhineland-Palatinate.

There are three senior tournaments, divided into 50+, 65+ and 75+, with one round a day over nine days, starting on Wednesday.

The time control in all three sections is 40 moves in 90 minutes, with 30 minutes to finish, and a 30-second increment throughout. The first round is at 14:00, but the remainder are at 10:00.

There are 159 entries: 29 in the 50+, 77 in the 65+, 53 in the 75+.Ahrtal-Tourismus
