Mornington Crescent

Seven Sisters

 

[OxtedL]

Nicely done there! Expertly placed numerical reference...

 

[DaveNewcastle]

Easy.

Cockfosters

 

[Anon Mouse]

time to do a Golders Green, or is a Wimbledon more appropiate?

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Show-off.

Bromley-by-bow

 

[DaveNewcastle]

Bromley-by-Bow has been used in some nasty doubling-back in days before the DLR. I'm not so sure you'd get out of it any more easily now.
The DLR is admissable, isn't it?

 

[OxtedL]

Depends what goes before.

Make absolutely sure you count the number of letters.

 

[imagination]

it's allowed.

interesting. Let's try Aldgate.

 

[DaveNewcastle]

well, I was thinking of Pimlico you see?

Pimlico would be a reasonable choice, but it leaves Kew Gardens wide open.

 

[DaveNewcastle]

Drat, Can we go back to imagination's Aldgate? (It still has 5 letters)

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Drat, Can we go back to imagination's Aldgate? (It still has 5 letters)

I don't see why not. At least it means that the Central Line is out.

 

[OxtedL]

On that basis, Stratford! (Notice how I cunningly used the Jubilee and impending DLR extension to remove the Central line issue...ah I'm a genius)

 

[DaveNewcastle]

Old Street

Waterloo

 

[Captain Chaos]

I'm sorry I haven't a clue how you play this game!

Where can you find the various rules?

 

[DaveNewcastle]

Lest be very careful now. . . . . Tottenham Court Road

 

[ralphchadkirk]

I'm sorry I haven't a clue how you play this game!

Where can you find the various rules?

As at your local Library for a copy of Mortimers Rules for Mornington Crescent version 4 (published 1946). You may find it helpful to get a copy of the regulations and Appendices as well.

I'll post a copy later if I can find them. I think they've been used as a lining in the cat basket for a while, so they may be a bit pongy.

 

[imagination]

Not careful enough I'm afraid DaveNewcastle - that's a reverse triangulation that places you in nip for the next 2 moves

 

[DaveNewcastle]

You sure? that was by Jubilee and Central lines you know. Its not as if I'd just sauntered straight up the Northern line cool as a cucumber and expected to get away with it!

 

[OxtedL]

Waterloo were we at? The obvious one is Tooting Broadway.

 

[Anon Mouse]

Nar a long throw to Amersham might set the cat amongst the pidgeons!

 

[OxtedL]

Woah! Advance warning next time! Some viewers may have weak hearts!

 

[DaveNewcastle]

As at your local Library . . . . .

Its probably fair to say that some local libraries may not have any copies at all.
It can be helpful to study some past games as well. I think the BBC have published a book containing some of the classics.

 

[Anon Mouse]

Just as well I never played my Aylesbury (1937 Pullman rules)

That the one you mean?

Ah yes, the classic.

Very true. The libraries that don't stock it probably aren't worth using anyway.

 

[DaveNewcastle]

Well that's clever. See how you can get so close and then . . . whoosh
