It was sensational. It wasn’t just the play itself but the flair with which Swarthithoff presented it. Talk about theatrical! I’ve never seen anything like it. It’ll be out on DVD soon - don’t miss it.
My first chance to play and I’m in Confisculation because of your Limehouse, Punkyova (The). Not fair! Nothing I can do until someone instigates a deconfisculatory move.
Then I will deconfisculate you with the grognard’s favorite -
Pimlico .
Thank you! Done with style!
Kingsbury.
Ealing Common for the swapover, and off we go into Templeton’s Quandry.
I think Liverpool Streetsolves that particular problem, and brings us to the end game. I see MC in 14 moves, esp. as stirrups are reversed and inverted, Zone 6 has been closed and re-opened, and tokens, as we know from Montcalm’s brilliant play in the quarterfinals of The Sydney Open of '96, are no longer valid.
Try as you might, I can’t see you wriggling off this hook.
I haven’t been attending as closely as I should, so forgive me if this is incorrect, but if Zone 6 is indeed now re-opened, that gives me the opportunity for a Beaufort’s Spangel quintuple play. The only move to block your MC in 14 is therefore Chalfont & Latimer and Embankment (I believe you overlooked Quiricus’ Lemma, Wargamer).
Oooh, burn! 
Everywhere I look, the game seems to be tied up by rules that have been around for at least half a century, but it seems far too early to play M******* C********* yet. But doesn’t Lord Montague’s 1798 annex to the 1754 rules give me an escape route in such cases? Let’s try
Monument
Dammit Giles, that play means we have to start all over!
Oh well…
Bank.
Sigh…
Oh! If we’re starting over, I hope that a novice (and an American) can join! I have studied the gambits a bit since the last time, and I hope that I haven’t missed any rules changes…
Chancery Lane.
Clapham Common
Elephant & Castle
I know, I know, but someone had to do it!
I believe Kings Cross Thameslink should clear any remaining blockages.
Apologies for this, but barring an illegal inverse transfer, the only place I can go is … Dollis Hill.
Upney will leave things nice and open.
Let’s throw this into International Match Play and go
Pudding Mill Lane
Let’s make things interesting.
Swiss Cottage.
(And, yes, I know how risky that is.)
Clever play, that. I believe
Monument would not be out of zone here. Plus I get to declare free token Tuesdays in Zone 5.
<sigh> I think we’re in a City-of-London loop now.
Bank
No worries. It’s a quick slide to Stockwell, which opens up the whole of Zone 2. Of course, That play means I’m restricted to defensive play for the next few moves, but I’ll take my chances.
