Mornington Crescent

[Xelebes]

Let's play a round! Prince of Denmark Rules, I reckon or does somebody else prefer another rule set?

 

[Sean]

Reversals allowed or are we playing strict confluence?

 

[Xelebes]

Yes that's allowed. You must be thinking of the Rules of the Gardens of Malmo, 3rd Conference.

Yeah, but they were amended in the Reykjavik Decision after the Longthorne Controversy.

[sighs]

This does sound such fun, and right up my street as well! But as to how to play -

~ I'm sorry, I haven't a clue.

Well, with Prince of Denmark Rules, you start with the London Underground map of rail stations and figure out a counter-integrative method to end up on Mornington Crescent. There are more rules, but really we expect you to read them up on your own. Maybe you'll find one more to your liking - bring it up!

 

[Xelebes]

Ah right, and with that decision came the Half-Measure Principal which practically outlaws the double-rehearsals as was commonly witnessed in the 1988 Warwick Championships.

Evenin’ Xelebes.

So, if I've managed to comprehend the rules presented thus far, the crux dynamic is that the query contain an enquiry riddled with more holes than fishnet stockings which insist that black is grey and not white and so therefore prove beyond all shadow of a doubt that there are more holes in the premise of the logic and thus show any response would be a transparent attempt by a neurosis-afflicted individual to garner some value in the eyes of folk who have a natural aptitude for losing and a pathological denial about said aptitude?

~ Gotta say, it all sounds a bit complicated for lil’ ole me.

Well it's not as hard as it sounds. The Grahams vs. Whitton Decisions streamlined it all into five steps that, with some practice, is a snap to execute. However, that was with regards to both Hampton and Chesterfield Rules and not Prince of Denmark rules. Would you propose that we switch to Hampton or Chesterfield? Which do you prefer?

Given the moves offered, I'd prefer to be afflicted with a mild form of autism.

Not Chesterfield, please. It allows players to double when executing a diagonal from either the Central or Northern Lines. This, IMO, causes people to end up sideblocked where the only legal move is to go Eastbound on the Jubilee Line leading to something of a pile up at South Kensington.

 

[Kylan]

Why yes!

How could I forget the time I played Chester one night in Bankok. I felt the game finished as stalemate, but then he played an illegal move on the night, the scurrilous knave.

Mind you, I did play on to try and mate him.

I could have that arranged for you.

If only because people forget the finial caprice and carry on all the world with donderous malfeasance with the triple-layover at Piccadilly Circus.

I've never liked finials, especially in the Hapsbourg Variation. Unless one is an experienced player it often leads to a cartouche. I believe Humph actually outlawed it on the radio version for just that reason.

 

[WakoJako]

Ooo this thread could be some fun

 

[Sean]

Yep, a nice simple game for anyone to play. Should help pass the time.

If only because the radio version is that it is so abridged. The key to a cartouche is that you must play it successfully five times in a row and then complete the loop. Doing that almost guarantees a win. Very few people realise this.

Well why dont we start and see how it goes first before going into the rule technicalities?

A standard Cartman's Complex for me to Regents Park.

In that case i will take Ealing Broadway.

Ooh, sneaky.

Thats a double for me
