From Stonebridge Park...

This is the whole game.

The current state of play is:

• Kev: Stonebridge Park (unlucky for some) (move #1)
• Jonathan: South Kensington (playing my home station) (move #2)
• Stephen: Not in the second move of the game you're not. Outlawed in '73 by Blackfriars Meetings in conjunction with the then MC council of Wales. (move #3)
• Doug: But what about the '79 Olympiad in Cardiff? I'm sure they overturned the ruling there. (move #4)
• Kev: Only to extricate the finalists from the very rare Morden Paradox - I understood that the revoking was purely temporary, and that the ruling stands. (move #5)
• Jonathan: South Kensington played wild. I will get around this whatever it takes. (move #6)
• Kev: You're a braver man than I, Jonathan. (move #7)
• Jonathan: Which presumably is why I am an international and you aren't. (move #8)
• Steve: Dollis Hill, not wild but extremely agitated (move #9)
• Doug: I'm still not happy, but in the absence of a ruling, I'll press on: Wapping. (move #10)
• Kev: Stanmore, if I'm reading it right. (move #11)
• Eristophanes: Indeed you are reading right, Kev, forcing me to coddle the Grange Hill Loop, therefore I'll choose the option that resutls in the least damage, namely: Fairlop (move #12)
• Jonathan: South Kensington (move #13)
• Steve: Burns straddle to Monument (move #14)
• Doug: Bayswater. It might seem illegal at first sight, but remember which stations are wild after a Burns straddle! (move #15)
• Kev: Back to Stonebridge Park. The end is nigh... (move #16)
• Jonathan: Time to delay the end then. Simple enough, a nice step to the right and... (move #17)
• Jonathan: Turnpike Lane (Cannon Street block imparted on Northern Line) (move #18)
• Doug: Nicely, Jonathan. West Brompton, to double the block and clear the firebox. (move #19)
• Steve: This'll throw a spanner in the works. Ongar get out of that one. (move #20)
• Jonathan: It may affect the attack, but it leaves the block untouched, so not a brilliant move. (move #21)
• Jonathan: Transparent and Neutral move: Pimlico (move #22)
• Kev: Parsons Green. (move #23)
• Jonathan: BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTT. Offside, surely? (move #24)
• Eristophanes: I don't think so, Doug's entry into the Wimbledon branch of the District five moves previously (West Brompton), played all stations to Wimbledon onside until a Gradely Half-Lock is declared, which in this case would mean a move to the Metropolitan. Unless West Brompton was played at the weekend. Anyway, if I'm right, I'm going for the erstaz. Becontree. (move #25)
• Steve: Unless I'm reading this wrong the next one has to be Colliers wood (move #26)
• Jonathan: I am still not happy. Don't forget that the double block more than acts as a Half-Lock. (move #27)
• Chris R: Wood Green (note name chaining is now in force for 5 moves (move #28)
• Jonathan: Well in the circumstances I will have to let it go, and retort with Dover Priory (move #29)
• Kev: Pinner, which should get us around the name-chaining block. I reckon. (move #30)
• Jonathan: I have been doing a bit of research into the classical era, and can thus answer the name-chaining with Putney Bridge (Sidney-Lestrade No.3 Shunting Reposte) (move #31)
• Simon: In that case - Victoria (move #32)
• Steve: Oh thanks a lot!! Gloucester road (move #33)
• Jonathan: Oh thanks a lot! Mornington Crescent.

• Jonathan: (Winner's Comments) : NOBODY plays SW7 like I do. Gloucester Road me at your peril! (move #35)

You can look at the next game (Word Dissociation), go back to the previous game (Boardo), or review the list of all games.

This game is closed for further play, what with this being an archive and all.
