    Mornington Crescent anyone?

    Well it's been almost eight months since TeePee's thread..so anyone up for a game?

    I fell that a safe place to start would be Earl's Court - let's keep this game clean for as long as possible please.

    Baron's Court eh?

    Right then, Stimplingtons August 1973 amendment, for stiling on cross line adjacent stations with truncated deadlines in the lower half calls for a kippling play through the green.

    Therefore I'll crimp in line with Radford's subduction clause and go for Hyde Park Corner, even though Sloane Square might seem more attractive to the new player. (I'm not picking that as it leaves Knightsbridge open if EvilWevvil chooses to play a Bammock's shuffle.)

    Heh, Nick, you're a sly one. Made me reconsider my next move...

    I'll have to make do with a simple greenery vertex replacement to Marble Arch...

    Hmmm, proof positive that you can over think the next move like I just did.

    Right then, if I'm reading this right, you're almost certainly opening with a Rushton's Gambit, which means an oratory rotation North.

    To counter this I'm going to play a vibrant thrush with a staggered pass across the complex for Edgeware Road.

    Note: stiles are vittled on a three pass play for the next move.

    I thought we were playing a clean game kasavien!

    For all you out there who were planning to use the 1976-introduced inward corkscrew reversal, I invalidate the possibility with the 1977-introduced rear transverse mirror, in addition to the rarity complex, to reach Wapping. Next player at risk of knip.

    Damn, that was some move Evil.

    Right, seeing knip is induced if I perogorate through to second quarter and the only other option is to visit Spoon for 9 turns, all I'm left with is the predictable Warrington return play on a Forsythe tankard. So it's either the Cushington pass to leave me with Moor Park or a third ledger flank for Baker's Street.

    Given the options, I'll have a flank and settle for Baker's Street.

    hmmm.. drawing on the 1932 Tunnington-Huntsmith Paradox, I'm left with no choice but to play a trumped outward corkscrew manouvre to Notting Hill.

    Isn't that part of Briskling's ammendment to the 1952 rules? I thought this was, as Evil said, a clean game?

    Briskling's dictates a reverse mirror on the circle, which was introduced to prevent tresspasses which left players in crux leaving them needing a rucksack to proceed (provided the play was left handed, of course).

    Seeing as no-one's yet crossed the threshold and Bank has yet to played, crux is unlikely until at least the seventh cycle, if not later, though one or two possible moves could see semi-crux on stations west of the Northern Line.

    I'm not challenging the move, I'm just wondering if a Fotheringay counter would've achieved the same without invoking the Paradox, especially as stiles have been vittled.

    I actually had in mind Briskling's 1955 amendment, which makes that move perfectly above board and in good ettiquette, whilst rendering the Fotheringay Counter redundant....

    It's good to see that everyone is on top of their game.

    In light of the Baronstone Box which the last moves have set up, I would be foolish to attempt a Knoll overturn. Without invoking 3 rounds of forced bald play, I have few options. While Mill Hill East would do away with any branching pokes, I'm a little unsure of the situation.

    A medium Pont road-roll to Pimlico then.

    indeed evil has again demonstarted a consumate mastery of the game with his last move.. however a quick hop to Canary Wharfshould avoid an endgame in 4 as Evil was nodoubt planning and instead leaves the door open for new players skilled in the yorke manouvre the oppertunity to develop a very interesting position towards victoria and later possibly even baker street

    umm... oh dear.. a double trumped - sideways houndsforth's shuffle to Liverpool St will get us out of this mess (And quite cleverly avoid knip too)
