Darnation. Am I the on who should teach you how to play properly? Your style is amateurish, Ecthy, and Krill is even dropping to your level, which is unbecoming.

Let's make this game a bit more interesting, shall we? By going to Wapping, I'll have quite a bit of control over the waterford channel. This move is nothing fantastic, but I hope that you people will now think before playing.

Josef Stalin was an avid Mornington Crescent player. I hear he had a wonderful counter to South Ruislip by playing Russell Square. We shall see how gloriously right he was.

Damn. Should have seen Imran's illegal move to Paddington as he did not hold enough Peruvian bean points to take the station. Needlessly to say, however, this does have a side benefit, in that it leaves the wide open fields of Earl's Court open for my grand gambit.

Is it because you just realised how weakened you are? I think I shall block both Ecthy and yourself by going to the Seven sisters.

Thinking of it, it's a fairly good move. I have recreated sir Walter Thormond's London Trench. The game might well come to a standstill soon, as I am in control of the trench

That blocking manoeuvre on one flank, combined with the blocking on another by Ecth-a-skecth, leaves the road directly open to Mornington Crescent.

Let's kick off the next one with the Bombay Tea Ruleset version 2, with no swapping between the Direct Line and the Circle Line, and certainly no shunting over the Thames. So, let us begin with Aldgate

You forgot Desmond Tutu's private blockade buster. I could end the game now but molly's last move grinds me to a halt 2 crispbits before MC. So I'm stuck atSouthfields for now.

Follow the game, Ecthy . Molly's move belonged to the previous game. Kalius has just started a new one, after a pretty nice dash to MC actually

I'll take a backseat for now. East Putney is as good a place as any to wait for my time to come.

Such haste...

Really, a simple go at Holborn would have achieved just the same. I admit that you'd have to have followed the metch between Tatensen and Sydgwael to see the greatness of the move. If you haven't I strongly suggest you the video of the match, available at your favourite shop for Mornington Crescent merchandise

Lord Quiddrington recommends West Brompton at this turn of events, although he was notorious for not knowing what he was doing in most matches. Oddly successful, though.
