In light of the "No Mornington Crescent before 15:30" rule, I am hereby outsourcing my MC plays to India, where it is well past 15:30.

Ahem - masterful move, putting you well in sight of MC - but we're in Nid. Play must alternate South and North of the river. Your play is North - North.

Disallowed.

Not in Nid you wouldn't - since when is Paddington South of the river? Tsk.

Don't bother with the "Challenge" strategy, there's a game to be won here and it's all a matter of life & death!

Piccadilly Circus

Correction - it's a matter of death and taxes.
Taxing move you executed - allowed as Green Park was played - Colemanisor was just showing how he worked that one out - a mathematical play. Although he can't play Piccadilly Circus in a separate move straight away like that - consecutive play is disallowed - See MC Quick-Start Guide ch1, cl1.7.

Green Park means we're in Nid. A permissible move is Tottenham Court Road.

Easy mistake to make - they were a lot more colloquial in the later edition.

Here's a famous move, played by the great Brook-Taylor in the infamous match-on-the-green, September 1982, in inclement weather conditions.

Kensal Green to High Barnet!

Marvellous move, marvellous, ahh the great Brook-Taylor.

Off to Willesden Green via Euston and Green Park
