[Split from Mornington Crescent 2]

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 :?

That's...unusual, but you put us in a tight spot.

Well, against a Hamburger, there is always

Enzo, please join us. This was the deepest truth you could ever have said about this wonderful game. By the way, some minor and irrelevant website reports in an otherwise totally clueless and respectless article, that extraterritorial moves have been played, anecdotally out to New York Grand Central.

But I prefer to take on Lance in the holy confines of the original playground. Speaking of playing:

I'd say I've been to New York Pennsylvania station at least 1000 times, maybe several thousand. I've been to New York Grand Central station, well, never :oops:

Hey, that was rule was rescinded in the 2006 World Conference (ah, so you didn't read the proceedings?). Anyway, two moves in a row that would be considered "facetious play" by the Old School Guild are bit rich, don't you think?

I suggest we call a case of electricity failure dropout and restart at Fairlop.

Mea culpa, I admit I only read the obituaries and look at the pictures of the cheerleaders when my copy of the minutes of the Conference arrive.

A noble gesture to restart;

Kensington

and as I won't be able to post for 2 days, do your worst.
