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 1951, my ECF is 1954 and my ICCF is 2369.

Chess Tip Of The Day 443
If I repeat an opening variation that my opponent has lost badly against, I'll gain an immediate psychological advantage. He will have to confront not only my moves, but also his painful memories.
