A little Mornington Crescent - anyone care to join in?

[OverAndAbove]

I just fancy a change of focus.

I'll jump right in with Great Portland Street - I think I'm entitled to do that, with it being beyond the autumn equinox, but before Halloween?

Any takers?

[MooncupGoddess]

Dear me, some rather daring moves here.

In attempt to get the situation under control, I'm going to try a neat reverse lateral and go for Oval.

[ooerrmissus]

Beautifully done, Mooncup. Of course that does allow me to go for Borough.

[MooncupGoddess]

Oh damn it, missus. I thought for a second you had me cornered there, but just in time I remembered the Heidegger Gambit. So:

Totteridge and Whetstone

[ooerrmissus]

Very good! Had to look up Heidegger as I couldn't remember exactly how it worked but you're quite right.

Anyway I can invoke the 1979 Smith & Smith ruling and take a slide to Wood Green

[WinningBread]

Wood Green is a very crafty move, but I now can go with the obvious - Stanmore.

[ooerrmissus]

Oh drat I hadn't seen that.

Still, going to make up for it with a sneaky Humphrey move to Manor House.

Ha! Take that!

[rocketeer]

Going out on a limb here, sorry if I offend: Marble Arch.

[ooerrmissus]

Marble Arch eh? The Cryer-Perkins variation? Haven't seen that used in a while.

Elephant & Castle

[WinningBread]

[WinningBread]

Invoking the strategies of Summerskill and Kennedy, I feel it is now pertinent to mention Charing Cross.

[ooerrmissus]

ah I love Summerskill, really clever moves she came up with. So to follow your lead I shall say Redbridge

[trish5000]

I fancy East Acton.

[KippyVonKipperson]

East Acton, good one. I'm going to pass and forfeit 3 moves. I'm playing the long game...

Arnos Grove

[ErrolTheDragon]

I'm not going to jump into the middle of a game at this time on a Friday night but just dropped in to say how nice to find a streak of rational entertainment extant on MN. Keep up the good work!

[MooncupGoddess]

Well, spending 30 minutes out of the game while wedged on the Central Line means that my cunning plan is in ruins.... but on the plus side I've had a chance to think out my strategy from first principles. So I give you:

Roding Valley!

[StayAwayFromTheEdge]

Lazy Play indeed! It is the foundation of the game!'

Regardless Arnos Grove leads wonderfully to Slone Square using the little known Minkovsk diagonal...

[StayAwayFromTheEdge]

It was such a great move I played it twice!

[MrsWilliamBodie]

The only response to the Minkovsk diagonal that I know of is the Popov defence so High Barnet it is.

[StayAwayFromTheEdge]

Which must be followed by Holland Park

[KippyVonKipperson]

Oooo, I've got a really good one but its not my turn yet :-(

[BigWoooooo]

I'm going to preempt you kippy.

Clocks go back this weekend, therefore the vonstratten clause is void. EPPING!

BOOM.

[WinningBread]

Great tactics, wooooo.

West Hampstead

[StayAwayFromTheEdge]

A very difficult game with some talented players - feeling a little out of my depth - a safe move to Goodge St
