Mornington Crescent

I feel that in honour of the passing of the legend Humphrey Lyttelton, that a special game of Mornington Crescent should be held in his honour.
We'll play with Hugo's 2nd Strategem, which means that moves accross consecutive rows are prohibitive and tagging is only permissible if the opposing player is about to be huffed. All clear?
I'll start with Albright's Opening:
Totteridge & Whetstone.

0 ·A tricky and not very well known move shall come into play here, more often used in the Falang Strategem but I believe it works here.

0 ·dont worry man, you're not missing much, its basically one of those games that you make up as you go along.
its a load of bollocks really and is supposed to take the piss out of those complicated strategy games, goes back to the 70s i believe.
i'll probably get some messages now sayings its because i dont know how to play, thats how these threads tend to go when they pop up on every other message board every week.
anyone people! carry on, enjoy!

0 ·To echo KoG, you just aren't familiar with the rules
That looks like the Wikipedia definition of the game...
From Covent Garden, the easiest move I guess is a straight diagonal:
Liverpool Street

0 ·Ouch! Isn't is a bit early to go with the aggressive Orrington’s Parallel Equivalence Formula? Surely if you had waited for an inverted Penning Trap, that move would have been devastating?
Ah well, put it down to inexperience.
Holland Park! :thumb:
