This is the game that doesn't end
Yes it goes on and on my friend.
Some people started playing it not knowing what it was,
And they'll continue playing it forever just because...

I feel tribute should be paid to the late, great Barry Cryer, a giant of the game. He considered the Willesden gambit the most beautiful of openings, and in that spirit I shall play

They are wild, because we're playing the Northern Line Variant, two stations had been taken twice, and RJ is Trappist, rendering all his nisbits under duress, which by virtue of your previous move, allows a one-turn wild-round, which of course only somebody in the right place at the right time can capitalise on. I was, I did.

Willie Rushton is quite severely dead, true, but I think one or other of the Barries snuffed it recently.

Any IW's victory is legitimate, and Shoreditch is such a gloriously stupid move to play in the opening that I have to take advantage and play

I don't believe that one slipped away from me...that is what you get for being embroiled in a drawn out northern line fork battle...

Anyway, back to the present, I am concerned that this game could become a little too Segovian with play like that from Imran, so to get things back on the tracks, the solid Surrey Quays in the style of the classic Nubian defence...

Ah, our delaying tactics worked. For getting all mad and angry, Seneca is fined 2 nisbits. There is no place in this genteel game for your outbursts.

Now, to get ready for the George's Cross played brilliantly by Byron Littlearse in the 1934 championships, I'll have to play Neasden

I may, or may not have made a move. However I'm not going to reveal what it was, if indeed it happened at all. This, of course, means we are now in the realms of Whimbrel's Muntjac.

Professor Augustine St John Whimbrel (1887- ) was the first person to introduce Quantum theory to MC. His breakthrough was the realisation that we cannot be defined solely by our existance, but must also be defined by our relationship/proximity to other persons or items. This means I cannot be simply "Ron Jeremy", but must be "Ron Jeremy by the tree" or "Ron Jeremy attempting to put a clumsy stranglehold on Seneca" in order to be verified in existance.

Whimbrel's Muntjac theory is as follows. Should a Muntjac deer stray into the Tube in an ill-advised hunt for tasty roots to eat, it will disappear from sight. We would not be able to say with any degree of certainty where it was in the maze of stations and tunnels. All we could conclude is that it had ceased to exist as a clearly defined entity, but instead must be considered a field of potential existance that encompasses the entire London Underground system.

However, since all those people in the Underground at that time must have their own existance defined at least in part by their proximity to the elusive Munjac, this means that they have all actually ceased to exist as defined entities too, and again can be considered as fields of potential existance. Therefore the man on the platform at Paddington is therefore simultaneously boarding a train at King's Cross and buying a Kit-Kat at Maida Vale. Only the vanished Muntjac can define precisely where the commuter actually is by revealing itself and defining it's proximity to others causing their existance to be clarified as a definite entity.

Whimbrel applied the principle to his own life. Therefore, as we can no longer see him, we must assume that he is alive in an infinite field of potential existance. However he has responded to no letters since his cremation in 1963.

So what does this mean to my game? As no-one knows my present location, this means that no-one can actually verify their own either until I choose to reveal myself. I now define their positions. This means I can reveal that Provost is now on Northolt, Imran is playing as default Prebendary on Bayswater until a stepping fold-through is completed, while Seneca and Flubber are simultaneously groped on Sloane Square.

And that, my friends, is called "genius".

That is good deduction there Laz. And any good physicist will tell you that Whimbrel was the main inspiration behind Einstein, Heisenberg, Schrodinger and Bohr...

This could possibly give my game away, but alas, position enough is not alone, you need to know my momentum...my strategy, my direction, my plan. Indeed, the wonders of the uncertainty principle as applied to Mornington Crescent. You will never quite know enough...

...So I move to Golders Green

Says you. And by my count, that's not a reliable fellow.

Now, after being exposed (to say the least) by the Quantum Theories, I may have to perform the counter General Relativity Move used by the young Einstein himself, in his first and only year of play (where he won the championships by so confusing the other players, that they totally forgot where Morington Crescent was).

In that spirit: Latimer Road
