I believe that may give me an opening to utilise the Wellingtonian Variant, so COCKFOSTERS.
If I've misunderstood, and the 1947 restriction has been imposed once more, I do apologise.

Ooh thats a tough move Rich... but if you'd have looked a bit close that has left me open to go to
KINGS CROSS with Mornington Crescent in 2 utilising the rewritten Stockford-Simpton bypass rule 1936.
Mwahaha

Well, I hate to do it, but to counter your counter-counter move...
I invoke the Earl of Sittingbourne, and therefore play...

Aha, when going from a Docklands light railway line station, usually I would be forced to play the Juddering Wicket feint. But, if I recall correctly, on the year of a winter olympics, the effects of this move are negated. Leaving me free to play the Olympus Frosting Spiderweb move of '68, and go straight to Angel!

You'll pardon me if I am a bit fForward, as I, an international player, may not have all the subtleties of the game. However I think that move calls fFor the direct nested stitch manoeuver This wouldn't ordinarily be used under most other circumstances, I think, but you seem to have pushed me into a corner fFor which this is the only natural response, as adjudicated in the early 18th century.
so, to MOOR PARK.

Hrm... Good move Scott. Let me see now. I think in this situation...I know. I think I have to use the defining move of 2001. The Stamford Parry.

Some high quality action here overnight, I see. Nice to see our international cousins using some subtle plays too - a delicate touch is certainly what's called for in this game. Looks like we may be in for the duration, though I can't see us challenging Keppler vs Keppler's 1979 record of seven months for a single game... ahhh, those halcyon days.
Anyhow, onwards and upwards people - or rather downwards. I should like to use my own variant on Henton's Thrust, and escort us gently to MAIDA VALE.

The eternal question, how best to parry Henton's Thrust.... In keeping with the tradition, first established in 1923 according to legend by the then first Lord of the Admiralty, I will attempt the grand gesture that is the Faulkener Gambit.
So I give you... FINCHLEY ROAD
