Both of you are badly misinformed. You're abolsutely forgetting that there has long since been an update on all this discussion: in 1979 the official MC league issued a note that Kurtz is no longer to be taken into account. The victory is mine, we can accept your Leicester Square move as a proper opening for a new game now though.

Now, in this new light, your turn has not lost a bit in being genuine - it only leaves a few options as tactically sensibler responses - that said I shall stays defensive during this NEW match playing Elephant & Castle.

Oh Ecthy, that just won't do. Seemingly you've neglected the North London Cross. It's ok though, it is only the most famous move in history, it being used to secure the Russian team's victory in the 1990 World Cup.

Of course, but it was you who invoked Kurtz to back your position.

By the way, what method of LV calculation are you using, because this ruleset only allows for the Kurtz method, which would leave you with about 34? I suggest you DanS yourself out of this embarrassing hole as soon as you can.

Sorry to butt in when it isn't even my turn, but Mornington Crescent.

Woot!

Er, as far as a new game goes, I think the Maharajah's Rule Set would be in order (1853 edition, for those of you familiar with Bombay's rich printing history). No North-South divide, no quadruple striles allowed, and no chance whatsoever of moving to MC from within zone 4.

That was merely archaic Western Orthodox. Unorthodox would be something like Temple.

Time to nip the Kraut in the bud. Consulting the "World Wide Encyclopedia on Mornington Crescent and Blood Sausages", the best move to counter the threat is Park Royal

I will leave this game to get some night sleep anyway.

As a matter of fact, your encyclopedia (too bad you need to use one, got not wit on your own?) leaves out the slim chance that the offender play London Bridge, thus pushing him forward to just so short before victory.

Oh, but that book is severely outdated. The best move under present conditions, given a prevailing wind, is to Gloucester Road.
