Yes, but the two successive moves that you played Mornington Crescent on, were illegal. I refer you to the 1971 publication,Rules and Origons of Mornington Crescent by 'NF Stovold.


Tad early for the Embankment Flashy, I can tell youre a bit of a risk taker playing that, so you leave me no choice but to play,


Swiss Cottage.

you can't play Swiss Cottage after any non-existent - or no longer functioning station

so your move is void...thought you knew the rules?

Swiss Cottage. Jesus what a good move! The old 76 right-sided manoeuvre still works then. In that case I'll have to plump for 'White City'......
Guess who's back?
F
Jeepers, you chaps can play!

But I've no little experience myself - and at this level when someone plays White City, rather than use the first of my en passants, I'll plump for Temple and hang the consequences.

Well you say you have little experience Flashy but I think you're bluffing, its the oldest trick in the book, and I'm not falling for it, playing Temple after Banquo's White City indeed. You make me laugh. *laughs in a haughty manner and slaps thigh in a rather camp way, but not so camp as to make you think I was gay, just enough to make you wonder.*

Now, I'm quite limited in my choice but I do have an ace up my sleeve.

Kilburn Park.

Kilburn Park is an excellent choice but unfortunatly limits the next move to just three so Mansion House it is.
Guess who's back?

I want to learn how to play.
Wo ist das kamerahhhhhhhhhhh!!! NJ!!!

It's been a long time, but I always used to expect to see Aldwych played by now.
F
At last, I can use the Victoria Switch and play Pimlico. Get out of that!

Apparently us Americans are out of the loop. I'll teach you!

Pimlico Flashy?

Are you sure about that?

REALLY sure?

Did you just completely forget that Banquo had already played Mansion House, allowing me to invoke the Trellis Variation and deftly escape Pimlico by playing Gloucester Road?
Gullibility and credulity are considered undesirable qualities in every department of human life -- except religion.

'The Trellis Variation', classic!

Its been a long time since I've seen that one played, but it always makes me chuckle.

I'm going to throw in a bit of a curve ball (thought I'd say that to please our American cousins), and I'm going to play Aldwych, I know it normally gets played early on Penetration, but surely anytime is a good time to play Aldwych, and when you're in such a juxtaposition as myself, this really might be the last time I play the Central Line without avoiding the ammendment to the 5th law of side-stepping.

Has anyone else noticed how similar this game is to the 1982 final between, Doggett and Kraussmen. Just a thought.

And just like Doggett, I'm going to follow Aldwych with Parson's Green and invoke a 'Zone 3 Freeze'.

B
Shit Flashy. As its a 'zone three freeze' I have to use something my Father taught me on cold winter nights playing this game. Any freeze, whatever zone, can and should be followed by the famous Finsbury Park.

As you should all knopw this is also a overland station as well and we all know what happens when one of them is thrown in.
