Mornington Crescent, anyone?

(no, seriously, I think it'd fit really well with the 2ch culture movement and would be fun to film)

Now that I know full well what the game is all about I could actually picture a movie focusing on the skills shown when someone gives a confident, lengthy, and detailed description of the more arcane rules.

Quite true. And it would be a shame to not have Otohiko in the game, he seems quite devoted to it although some of his moves clearly mark him as a talented amateur rather than a skilled and learned master. I'd like to request that if the next scheduled game is held on a weekend that we start it an hour later though. Usually I don't get off work until 9:30 eastern so I'd be an hour or later.

Is there a single player version of this game?! :O

The only true version can be found in London, but there are literally tons of cheap rip offs that you can find in any city.

Sorry guys, I was/am kinda screwed with work.

How about an un-timed on-going match for a change? (Or else a new time?)

Perhaps we should have a 'casual' thread for an un-timed on-going match, and then keep this thread for the serious players?

I initiate the shaun of the dead inspired zombie protocols by necroposting.

(if you don't know about them they act pretty much the same way as the black death variation created by one Charles Marlane for a halloween party.)

My first move is ... Sudbury Hill!

(what can I say I like to gamble)

Unfortunately for you Todd, I've been watching professional replays of Mornington Crescent and know the perfect counter.

Stanmore

Have fun with that.

That's an interesting pair of openings. I prefer to play a bit more conservatively. I'll open with Paddington.

I'll take the diagonal opening you left and hop straight to Mornington Crescent
