I just won, and I don't know how I did it It looks like a MTA subway map.
I kept pushing buttons and it said Mornington Crescent and said I had won.
I don't get it!

I won a bunch of times, but I don't get it....the little light thing kept jumping from place to place and didn't make any sense at all!

Ok...I don't know if I'm doing this right...but...hey, it's my first game!

So...timidly I'll say:

Lancaster Gate.

(Please do tell me if I've completely messed this up!)

Lara-

I'll defer to the masters from across the pond. However, even though I am still in my novice period, I think you might have figured this game out...and after only an hour working on the applet!!!

Have you found the Encyclopaedia Morningtonia? That helped me a lot.

That first move looks like a good one. It's better to be lucky than good. (JK)

Guys, is that move as smooth as I think it is?

Make sure that you use the 1952 mini A-Z to source your moves....more recent abominations such as Barbican shouldn't be allowed!!

So I'm starting somewhat obscurely at Aldwych.

Dave, I need to have a ruling on Torvoldt's second premise before I can continue.

Wilmer, you'll get it soon. Remember the 70s (or not?)


Regards,


Trevor

So..does that mean my move was ok?

Lara - your move (Lancaster Gate) was a superb demonstration of a back pass under curfew conditions. If we had been playing under some of the more obscure versions, we could have found ourselves in perpetual knid, but with current playing conditions as they are (and you will be pleased to know that the weather is leaving the field of play unaffected) it was a good move.

I wish I could say the same for Pat's Ealing Broadway - Pat, I thought we had explained how to play this game - well, it has been made (and followed), we will let it pass - but next time, do try to concentrate.

Wilmer - nice game - shame it uses such outdated rules - not even a mention of Stovaldt (or Stovold) and their understanding of Minerva's Variations are very much set in the 1800's. As for not using the extended playing arena - hardly what I would expect, but then again - it has been designed for ANYBODY to play - hardly any skill required

Now, wehere were we? Ah yes, Trevor had played Aldwych (and excellent move, but I would expect nothing less) and tried to mislead us with the 1952 reference (an excellent ploy Sir - that should keep Wilmer firmly out of the game ). There is an obvious counter-move to make, but I have never been one to produce the obvious. It is too early in the game to grab anyone by the Chalfonts and there is a young lady present, so that rules out my favourite move (although if I have to make a move after 9pm, even Lara's presence won't stop me). I think I will take advantage of the early hour (please remember - this is being played under GMT), travel South of the river and bring us to

Southfields

(hopefully that will keep me out of knid for a move or two)

Dave,

You're right of course my move was intended to confuse and it may have not been fair to use so early on...I'll make my next move more fitting given the general level of player and will use a more suitable strategy.

I'll go for the 'Bow Bells' defence and move to Whitechapel.

Regards,

Trevor

PS You're supposed to use a trumpet to make music?....go on, pull the other one!!!
PPS Mike are we using Beck's schematics or real geography?

trumpetmike

Dave - as we are using Windsor rules, I was (of course) referring to the Royal "We" - no need for team play in this game.

Your point regarding Wilmer is well taken.

PPS - Trevor - yes
