Mornington Crescent Thread

Tsk. You people are forgetting the notable gambit first played in '75 – Herefordworcestershire. It’d be shameful of me to take advantage of it given the restrictions set out in the OP, so I’ll simply sit this one out and kibitz from the sidelines.

Stratford?

Interesting, and you avoided the obvious Brixton gambit.

I give you Crystal Palace . . .

And on that low note, to bed.

Read it and weep, Gentlemen:

Uxbridge

Vlad/Igor

But I couldn’t play Brixton twice in the same ombiture, as I’l sure you’re aware…
Chalfont & Latimer, just to make things interesting

You’re leaving it open!

Ruislip Manor no shunting.

While I admire your wild gambit, non-tube-stations aren’t allowed unless Morten’s Law in enforced. I’ll have to ask you to sit out the next three rounds. Study your diagonals, and pay close attention to Leytonstone.

Leytonstone leads straight to Buckhurst Hill.

Amateur. :eek:

That opens the way for a Hainault loop inversion to Gants Hill

I have finally read all the rules at the vaious online sites and I think I ready to jump in so my first move of my first game will be

Wapping

(really it’s just fun to say Wapping!)

Terribly sorry. That was a rather brash move. Following the Calvinball Decree, I’ll play Tufnell Park (Hi Nigel!!).

Vlad/Igor

I’m an American, I have to be brash.

Just like to say I’m currently with the delectable Samantha and I’m admiring her points.

She is scoring rather highly . . . :smiley:
Oh, and with a neat little Pffizer conversion . . .
Sudbury Town

Ithika you seem to have scared off Iceland_Blue with the Tooting Bec move, but Crystal Palace :eek: That’s dirty play in my book. Since you’ve got play out to zone 4(!) I’ll let it lie.

I recon Iceland is toast now, M.C. in three?

Not if I open things up, via Euston.

Ha! You fool! Did you forget the amendment to Braithwaite’s Second Looping in 1990 which permits the diagonal cross-transit nodular loop.

Chalk Farm. Blocking virtually any access to MC within the next ten goes :cool:

And the rules are freely available to any non-Brits. Just learn then and you’ll be in :slight_smile: It’s easy

Easy to play, virtually impossible to master…

I don’t suppose he forgot the Braithwaites Second Looping amendment, just that he was wise enough to also realise it cannot pertain when in the last cusp of British Summer Time and the subsequent timetable variant 14c… would you like to reconsider?

Nope. Look at the small print. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (peak hours) the cusp of BST **will NOT ** be operating. So I stand by my move…

Oh, come on. We all know that Braithwaite’s only applies to refurbished 1938 stock.

Swiss Cottage.

Well that plays both way doesn’t it. I see you’ve pulled play back into Zone 2, and the blinking Northern Line at that.

G-Man I though the Jubilee Line was out of bounds ::runs off to check the OP::

Sections converted from the Metropolitan were exempted by the Bradford Tactical Council a few years ago, removing the Amersham stalemate issue.

Bond Street.
