I take it the three-corner transfer stratagem is excluded by Ingersoll's 1995 "escalator-free play" dogma?

In that case -

Holland Park!

Drat, I hadn't seen that.

Hmm, you want to trick me into doing a South End rollover.

Yeah, a bad move in the beginning can force you into the defensive right from the start. What about

Ealing Common

though. That should knock the breath out of your DLR introduction.

Should we take this uncultured American seriously? I say no -



Chorleywood is a lot more appropriate.

Apologies for the delay, compounded by this morning's derailment.

As the tennis is on and the country seems fixated by East European aeroplane blondes:

Wimbledon

Not the safest move and it leaves me out on a limb, but sometimes you have to be topical.

Hah!

Mind your steps, KOS, or it's MC in two...

I have to counter Heid's attempt to put me in nip, so I'll play it safe:

Wapping

Your Wimbledon move was orth all the wait, Heid. Good to get things going again. <3

Is it too late for me to join in?

I'll play the slip-n-slide step maneuver and try to sneak to

Nice one, and from a beginner at that!

O.K., with Heid safely in rucksack, I can do a double King's Cross swingby and catch KOS in knip with

Clapham Common.

Only the two of us left for the moment, Lance :twisted:

[spoiler]One false move, and it's Mornington Crescent in two. In fact, Lance has only two options left.[/spoiler]
