I find it is always best to go up the Arsenal early on:

King's Cross to Highbury and Islington.

Thanks. It's all clear now. Maybe I'll just watch for a while.

Looks a little too Rightpondian for me. Anyone up for a mindless game of 1000 Blank White cards?

(Seriously, I think I'm going to sit back and watch for awhile, too.)

Uuh-hu, you are getting close to MC... How about I don't like that and steer you away from it:

Ealing South

Still keeping Heid in my rucksack... :-

Ealing South? A bold manoeuvre, but doomed to be finessed by Elephant And Castle...

Invalid move, as Oval is only on the Northern Line, so Pimlico is unreachable. Very poor.

I will say Mornington Crescent in 2.

As stated, I used my free line change for coming out of rucksack. Oval to Stockwell, change line to the Victoria Line, to Pimlico.

Not yet, man, not yet: That would have been possible (I know, the old wag the dog twice stratagem) only with Heid still in rucksack, which I ended with my move to Oval (by Second line change Commandment), and there is that free line change after it - never seen Urquhart win the 2004 championship against Cunnings and DeLaitre with that little smug move? (The tabulature is in Acta Morningtonia 46 (2005): 235-245, with a brilliant comment from our Elder statesman Trevor Rookman).

No, man, this isn't over just yet. I hope
Kings Cross St- Pancras

Nice move and closing in; but I can use Cholmondley's Contraction and return to Highbury & Islington.
