Well, that's a bit of a googly, isn't it? But it does give me the opportunity to break out of knip.

Vauxhall

Rucksack.

Dang! That was the better of the two possibilities. And KOS blocks the Southern escape at Vauxhall.

O.K., I have to let go of Heid, who is now out of rucksack, but

Stamford Brook at least saves me my sidehopper advantage.

Beginner's luck, I guess.

How about Swanson's Court?

Everyone has known that trick for years :P

Harlesden

I can't do anything about Arneb's sidestepper advantage right now. But soon, he will be forced to commit to one of the two strategies he is holding open...

Acton Central

Laugh that one off.

Am I now in spoon?

Yes, you are. You can exercise this privilege during the next three moves.

Two strategies Heid? Hmmm, I see a third one. Not Leicester Square; not the tired old Viktoria gambit via Vauxhall... :twisted:

Instead,

London Bridge, via the Monument crossover opening (remember the revision after the 2004 Edmond-Galiver debacle at the White Hart in Gloucester?). Right back to rucksack with you, Heid.

And MC in two, unless KOS makes the decisive move...[/spoiler]

Then I guess my only option is Dollis Hill

Sorry, Lance, no escape.

Great Portland Street

I reach Mornington Crescent in two moves... :twisted:

[spoiler]
Heid is in rucksack, KOS can only choose between Heathrow Terminal 4 and Acton Town, which would immediately force a Thameslink breakdown and give me instant MC; you do have your spoon privilege, but even exercising it you reach Kilburn Park via a two-step sidey or Swiss Cottage via a straight linover dump. Both are sure to be countered by Temple, and then it's a forced Chancery Lane for you and MC for me. [/spoiler]

Since I win this one, let's start a new game with

Beckton Park
A bit old-fashioned, I know, but Spanish openings have that uncanny knack of turning wild after the third or fourth move :?

DRAT!

Bugger. I saw it coming, but there was nothing I could do to stop it.

Waddaya want for nothing?

I assumed the tour de tube was over, so I hailed a cab to get home.

Well, you can call a new game, but the old game was over, so i hailed a cab and called it a night. Tomorrow is another day.

by **Lance** » Sat Jul 21, 2007 3:46 pm

Ah, okay...

I'll meet you at Hackney Central for coffee in the morning then.

Wait, I need to post this in the other thread.

Damn!
