Well the tournament organisers used my last published grade of 1875 which was a tad disappointing as I was hoping for a 200 to 300 drop for a handicap tournament when I haven't played for a decade and a half. Hey ho as wifey would say, and a disgruntled Roger sat down with 5 minutes on the clock and unfortunately the black pieces, compared to the 25 minutes allocated to my opponent Roland Spencer 1471
With the better game and only 10 seconds left on my clock I offered a draw that was duly and correctly accepted. Roland praised me as not being rusty so that sought of proves the comment made by my youngest, "playing chess is like riding a bike". Yeah ok, but it doesn't half hurt when you fall off.
