	Mornington Crescent - 2005 Masters. Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Welcome to the Apolyton Performing Arts Centre for this years Preparation H™ Mornington Crescent Masters. Let me kick off this years proceedings with:

Surrey Quays

Remember, this is Featherstone-Waugh variation and no reverse shunting on the Circle Line...

I'm afraid it's been awhile, so my rustiness shall soon be apparent. As an American there's only so much practical knowledge one can gain concerning the underground, so I'm afraid my play will be mostly based on high-theory.

That said, I've always enjoyed Arsenal as an opening move.

Well, it might be a fairly conservative game, then. But it would actually be appropriate, considering that many of us haven't played for a long time. Besides, the Featherstone-Waugh variation does allow for some subtlety, assuming we're speaking about Waugh Jr. (which would be the only logical choice). Good choice PH

But enough of this babble. I'll block Monolith on his spot by starting with Gloucester Road.

Blocking Monolith is all very well, Spiffor, but you are exposed to the north.

NO! NO! NO! Featherstone-Waugh is one name (pronounced Fanshaw, naturally), after Reginald Peregrine Featherstone-Waugh, a grandmaster of the Mornington Crescent circuit of old...

Sneaky trick, trying to catch me unawares with the first game of the NFL season coming up, but I am now cowed. I'll make the now famous move, popularized by Sir Mimsy during the 1756 English Final, and play:

You're right, Spiffor. He'll have the South-East sewn up if I don't move to New Cross.

You forget, his Lordship was stripped of such title after being found in a London fountain with a French prostitute.

Anyway, before Mimsy's limbs were sent to the four corners of Britain he taught the French prostitute some of his moves, which she used to great effect to become the first female Grandmaster.

You should brush up on your history, Richard, really!

Good, I see we are now surronding him. I'll leave you people give him the coup de grace. Howeever, he might still escape his righteous fate with some sneaky trick.

Actually it's a big clipper in the middle of Greenwich (a boat to the likes of you). If you wanted the full title of the DLR station, it is 'Cutty Sark For Maritime Greenwich'...but I am sure there is no point in being so utterly pedantic

Anyway, this pathetic trolling aside, I intend to play Bermondsey. You don't stop me that easily...

Oh Richard. You can't get away that easily.

The encircling manuver is quite interesting though. Akin to the excellent 420 AD game commonly refered to as 'The Fall of the Roman Empire'. Only if the Romans had won that game.

Enough with the history:

Imran, Cort Haus: Good manoeuvre. Sure, Richard was a bit careless in his boasting, but he was an actual danger to us. Now, he's been neutered

In any case, our victory is complete and absolute, and Rich can only do some desperate gambles that have no chance to yin.

I suggest we remain good sports, and that we have a magnanimous victory. In any case, I'll relieve poor Rich of some pressure now.

Edgware Road should make the game more interesting
