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 2039, my ECF is 1940 and my ICCF is 2362.

Chess Tip Of The Day 475
The mere occupation of the centre by pawns does not spell control of the centre. So long as the opponent has centre or wing pawns yet to be heard from, centre-control remains in abeyance.
