Samuel's Third Upheaval

This is just a segment of 7 moves. You can see more moves, or the whole game.

The current state of play is:

• Simes: Victoria. Burst water main brings traffic to a standstill. (move #4)
• Simon: Victoria. Fire engines arrive to pump away excess water. Water board fixes pipe. (move #5)
• Rob: Victoria. Flat tyre on the front offside after reversing over damaged Water Board manhole cover. (move #6)
• Steve: BZZZZZZZT..... Surely the last Victoria is not a plausible or possible move because of the utilisation of Samuels third upheaval in the first move. This as everyone know means that BR interchange stations do not remain valid after being played more than 4 times regardless of the circumstances (move #7)
• Jonathan: (after a bit of research)...well, you are half right. The Samuels Third Upheval only blocks the fifth mainline station where all four previous stations are different. However, Rob's move falls down due to the somewhat shaky coach station link upon which it relies (the coach station being a good ten minutes walk from the tube line). A quick consultation of the rules shows this move to be illegal under Vol 23 Ch.4 rule 46.4a. Simple really. (move #8)
• Simes: This is quite true, however it IS permissable providing it is immediately followed by a transversal from the Circle to District lines, as per Samuel's Fifteenth Grabbing. The District must be wild, and the Circle bemused, of course. (move #9)
• Kev: Forgive me if I'm overlooking the obvious, but I can't see any moves that would fit both categories. From Victoria, the two states would seem to be mutually exclusive. (move #10)

You can look at the next game (MC1001 meets all comers), go back to the previous game (From Blackfriars...), or review the list of all games. You can also view the previous page, view the next page, or jump to the last page.

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