Well you'll actually find it is Acton not Action. 4 Nesbit penalty for you under the Gore-Miller convention of 1943 (emergency war MC summit). The attendance was very hush hush, but apparently all of Churchill, Stalin, Hitler and Hirohito were there, but I don't lend much creedence to these conspiracy theories myself.

But you could you miss my total Northern line branch foreclosure? It was so obvious, but the more you missed it, the more I continued. And you've ended your own game:

Mornington Crescent

I am going to ease off on you lads on the next game. I am going to play with a Nagochi transnesbitarian handicap to level the playing field a little.

I will try the Northopton Circus Maneuver of 1989

probably will mess this one up too

Oxford Circus

for 2 Nisbets

As long as a do the next couple of moves correct I should have several options to keep from being backed into a corner (the most famous of which is the Scanton Nefif Otion which Dunlap took in 1994).
We will see if others are keeping with the game.

Don't worry Jon, I'm just a seasoned veteran, play for a few more decades and get a few titles under your belt and you'll be able to compete

I'll play Cockfoster, why not start on the outskirts for a change? Few people try this tactic, as demonstrated by Gordon in 1983, but can be a potent intro. He lost the game in the end to the super Hammerstein, but it was touch and go at times.

I beleive I have the problem of not considering my opponents moves enough

it is much easier in two player

At least that leaves open North Wembley for anthoer two Nisbets (I see you two were not familiar with the Northopton Circus Maneuver)

Provost, are you sure you still have your amateur standing? (you did mention titles and all)

recently, in 1997 I beleive, The Council of Numberland Ruled that professionals could not play in Lumpton style games which I beleive is the style we are playing (I did have to look up the Nisbets and all)

This of course completely put out Robert Talbot, and he was kept from his winning move in that year

sorry, I realised that my post was somewhat incomplete

in the last statement I was of course refering to the Etten Game of 1997, where Talbot's opponent delayed until the council ruled therefore saving him the game at 243 moves

Of course, but it seems that you were unaware that as soon as Cockfoster has been 'taken', that move becomes rather dangerous, as a simple reverse Northopton counter-switch will display.

Nisbets = Nisbets + 5

3 month rule Line closure (Circle Line. Well, ok, any line)

That would make the Prinz-Neismith opening allowable, and enable me to take Mornington Crescent.

Yes, you would, if we would be playing the original se of 1965 rules, which we are not, because in 1998 the rules were amended to modify internet play, and the modification clearly lists that using a Prinz-Neismith, or any opening at that, can not lead to winning the game.
