Mornington Crescent

[DarloRich]

Continuing the cross theme St George's Cross

 

[deltic]

Victoria Cross

 

[backontrack]

Victoria.

 

[Buttsy]

Carnaby Street

 

[W-on-Sea]

The only conceivable response to that can surely be

Kings Road Chelsea

 

[backontrack]

Blackhorse Road.

 

[DarloRich]

Blackhorse Road.

Black horse Road you say - surely the only move from here is Liverpool Street (For Old Broad Street which is the Lloyds Bank HQ)

 

[Buttsy]

I'll take a risk and play Threadneedle Street

 

[johnnychips]

Westminster Pier

 

[backontrack]

Bankside Pier

 

[deltic]

Wigan Pier - the infamous Orwellian variation agreed by the Mornington Crescent adjudication committee in 1984

 

[backontrack]

Blackfriars

 

[Buttsy]

Friars Entry using the obsure but valid Palin-Jones Oxbridge manoeuvre.

 

[DarloRich]

Friars Pardon

Bonus to anyone who can tell me where that comes from ?

 

[deltic]

Seven Sisters

 

[DarloRich]

Seven Sisters

for a north london derby: Arsenal

 

[Mvann]

Fulham broadway

 

[Buttsy]

I'll take a pair and go Tooting Broadway

 

[backontrack]

Tooting.

 

[deltic]

Tooting Bec

 

[backontrack]

Morden, and a chance for somebody to play the great Morden South gambit to leave us free of the tube...

 

[OxtedL]

This play is starting to feel a little bit devoid of Pernash - to drag some life back into it, I propose we make aces Wild from here onwards...

No, no no, on the contrary. This is already the most exciting game in some time! The wait - the agony - the ecstasy! Anticipating moves and gambits being played, but not knowing by whom! Sweet mystery of life, at last I've found thee!

Not really. How do you 'make aces wild?'

 

[deltic]

I prefer my aces tame and the queen wild! - so Queen's Park

 

[EM2]

I'd somehow managed to miss that we've had a game in progress for the last six months!
Anyway, now I'm here, I'll ease myself in gently with a simple Fernandes Twist to Shepherd's Bush Market

Isnt the Fernandes Twist what they were doing on Britain's Got Talent last night? If so I'm going for Star Lane

 

[DarloRich]

Euston (Bank Branch)

 

[Buttsy]

Edgware Road (Bakerloo). That puts DarloRich into Nidd and closes off all moves below the diagonal. Hopefully that bring a bit of panache to the proceedings.

 

[deltic]

I'm playing the Caro–Kann Defense which leaves me at Blackhorse Road - given the World Cup is about to start does that make all world metros wild or just those on strike in Brazil

 

[backontrack]

Warren Street.
