Winter rules (2008 revision ‘b’). No blocking back outside,(to make it easier for the amateurs), monuments score double but must NOT be followed by a diagonal. Black line is safe but Victoria Station is out of bounds until they clear the snow.

I’ll start with the expected opening gambit for Winter rules:

Parsons Lane

Blackfriars

fosbury flop to………….. Kings Cross

All aboard to Wood Green.

Finchley Road

South Wimbledon using the 1923 Montenegro convention bypass allowance.

South Wimbledon using the 1923 Montenegro convention bypass allowance

Surely that doesn’t apply due to the snow?

as long as he avoids victoria its a legal move.

OK

Tower Hill?

Upton Park

ooh this game’s got going quickly

Wimbledon

PIcadilly, invoking Stovold’s 1894 rule on the diagonals, hence avoiding trump.

a reversal on the trump plays it back to South Ealing

just confirming that the 1923 allowance is acceptable because as Stoner pointed out Victoria was avoided. However if Clubber had gone with North Wimbledon then he would have been in “nib”.

gramhamh – be careful so early on!!

Euston Road

Euston Road?

hmmm…. Cyprus

Heathrow Terminals 1,2 and 3 – finessing Samantha’s bush

Gare du Nord
