    Welcome to the Apolyton Performing Arts Centre for this years Preparation H™ Mornington Crescent Masters. Let me kick off this years proceedings with:

    Surrey Quays

    Remember, this is Featherstone-Waugh variation and no reverse shunting on the Circle Line...

    I'm afraid it's been awhile, so my rustiness shall soon be apparent. As an American there's only so much practical knowledge one can gain concerning the underground, so I'm afraid my play will be mostly based on high-theory.

    That said, I've always enjoyed Arsenal as an opening move.

      Well, it might be a fairly conservative game, then. But it would actually be appropriate, considering that many of us haven't played for a long time. Besides, the Featherstone-Waugh variation does allow for some subtlety, assuming we're speaking about Waugh Jr. (which would be the only logical choice). Good choice PH

      But enough of this babble. I'll block Monolith on his spot by starting with Gloucester Road.

          Blocking Monolith is all very well, Spiffor, but you are exposed to the north.

            NO! NO! NO! Featherstone-Waugh is one name (pronounced Fanshaw, naturally), after Reginald Peregrine Featherstone-Waugh, a grandmaster of the Mornington Crescent circuit of old...

                Already, PH? Do you have enough Dartford lines to able to pull that now?

                    Sneaky trick, trying to catch me unawares with the first game of the NFL season coming up, but I am now cowed. I'll make the now famous move, popularized by Sir Mimsy during the 1756 English Final, and play:

                    North Acton
                    “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
                    - John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

                      I further expose myself here, but PH's gloating must be stopped.

                        That's Lord Mimsy to you Imran

                        And you should have realised that I am pretty much unstoppable by now

                          You're right, Spiffor. He'll have the South-East sewn up if I don't move to New Cross.

                            You forget, his Lordship was stripped of such title after being found in a London fountain with a French prostitute.

                            Anyway, before Mimsy's limbs were sent to the four corners of Britain he taught the French prostitute some of his moves, which she used to great effect to become the first female Grandmaster.

                            You should brush up on your history, Richard, really!

                            All the same:

                              Are you serious? That's a pedestrian tunnel. We agreed that the de Montford variant was out.
