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 1997, my ECF is 1953 and my ICCF is 2362.

Germany Calling
AM traveling today to Bad Bertrich, a spa town in the Eifel mountains of Rhineland-Palatinate, where a 50+ tournament starts tomorrow.
There are nine mostly-morning rounds over nine days, with 50 entries, including two international masters and three Fide masters.
The time control is 40 moves in 90 minutes, a further 30 minutes to finish, and a 30-second increment throughout.
