Sorry to steal thunder. I wasn't sure if my move on Boardman's Combined was legal or not, but my research didn't dissuade me from trying. I was as surprised as any that it wasn't auto-rejected. Sometimes perhaps we become too wrapped up in minutia of regulations and tiny alterations and house-rules that the obvious becomes obfuscated. So here is a simple game of Mornington Crescent. Everything starts open except where contradictions prevent, and local time is 2:57pm.

Unorthodoxly opening at Kensington (Olympia), but standard home at Goodge Street.
Opening at East Finchley; home, as usual, at Manor House
A staggered left shift to Regent's Park.
Avoiding Raak with a steady opening by flagging Arnos Grove
Waterloo, as the crow flies. Bird flu permitting.
Stealing a march at Finsbury Park.
Neasden
Bank
And naturally Pimlico.
The only logical move is Balham since Shoreditch has just mysteriously vanished from the game.
Highgate
Raak is edging ahead here. Barbican, closing gates. That should curd him slightly. [Wymo] I say, that wasn't a Marie Celeste manoeuvre, was it? If so, very clever. I just hope it doesn't spread.
Er, or even curb him. Sorry.
King George V, boxing Simons Mith with quince jelly.
Ooh, I like quince jelly!
*pleased*
Hammersmith, picking up a purple podume.
Nothing too strenuous just yet Sloane Square
Languishing at Heathrow Terminals 1,2 & 3
Wymo's Marie Celeste manouevre is definitely spreading. I'm forced to play Cutty Sark And where's everybody else gone?
Ahem, please try to image that my last post contained three correctly-punctuated sentences.
Waterloo
Canada Water [Raak] Challenge accepted.
Oh, erm, let's see. New Cross Gate.
Farringdon, inverting snoods
Finsbury Park, inventing wheels.
Limehouse. LV up 3 points.
Crossharbour & London Arena, LV up another point.
Chalk Farm, clogging. That drops LV back quite significantly, I'm afraid.
Turnham Green dropping back the LV almost off the scale.
Stonebridge Park, calcifying.
Euston Square. Longing to adjust the LV, but can't quite reach the knob.
Golders Green, and if somebody had done that two moves ago we wouldn't have the LV down at almost nothing.
Monument, consolidating.
Bank, putting Simons Mith in strick.
Finchley Road for negative LV... That should put the Pigeon amongst the Cats.
[Tuj, UE] Good, about time I got some concerted opposition. But unfortunately I'm forced to play Dollis Hill. And thanks to the negative LV, that's Dollis Hill, reversed. I think this might be quite entertaining, if you like gallows humour . . .
