mc5 - MC in eleven moves

A study puzzle for seasoned players to pass the time, sturdly constrcuted from oak. Let's try a tricky one...

Paddington (carrément)

6. Kennington (Barnett's deflection)

7. Pimlico (décolletage vers l'ananas)

Ah yes, the eighth move always so pivotal, I believe Mansion House again gives sufficient leverage. Could be a tight squeeze though.

Which leaves me hopelessly attempting to to give some importance to this move with Beckton.

Well, I have to play a bridging move here so, Chalk Farm

And a smooth surge into Mornington Crescent
