Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'm only a mid-level semi-novice in the World rankings, but I've advanced pretty far in the short space of time since I first took it up. Â Does anyone else play? Fancy a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted January 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 I only really know the Canadian ruleset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 28, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 Canadian ruleset's fine, it encompasses standard Metropolitan and Montague's 2nd stationary ruling anyway. Â I'll start, and go for a standard opener: Â Highbury & Islington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted January 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 If you knew the Canadian ruleset, you wouldn't have started on Highbury & Islington. Are you thinking of the Royal Canadian ruleset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Actually, he hasn't lost anyway - I was actually trying a bluff to try and get him to start at a less awkard station. I wasn't expecting him to turn it around and ask me to start, because I always find it more difficult if I started first. Â So, Highbury and Islington stands. I'll take the "Dick Tracy" shaunt to West Brompton, and open it up for another player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 28, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 Good move. Reminiscent of the 1983 grandmasters' final between Merrick, Robinson, Selwyn and Mikhailichenko; although, to be fair, Selwyn's shaunt was along the lateral orbit, which wouldn't have been permissible under Canadian OR Royal Canadian rules, so well done under the restriction. Â Anyone else, or shall I take the next? Â EDIT: Â Sod it, we'll keep it to two players for now. Let's see now... Â Â Ealing Broadway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 28, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 28, 2011 Can I use my superchance at this stage, or should I wait until the 3rd quadrant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Ah, glad you could join us. Under Canadian rules, you have to wait until the 3rd quadrant, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 28, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'll refrain from using it for now. I'll just play it safe and take Cockfosters. Â With that in mind though, I will open the game to a Putsch, if anyone wants to take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â With that in mind though, I will open the game to a Putsch, if anyone wants to take it. Â That's fine. It's mainly to prevent straddling, which apparently was taken advantage of far too frequently in the late 70s, when the 3rd edition of the Canadian ruleset was published. Â Chris, your turn.

Paid Members Chris B Posted January 28, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'm a bit tired to work out a Putsch, so I'll take the long way round to Walthamstow Central. Â We may need to play Catch rules, as I'm probably incommunicado for a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 28, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hmmmm, I'd say you've peaked a bit too soon there. You've left yourself no room for manoeuvre, which you may need later when Butch uses his superchance.  Alright, I'll go for:   Crossharbour    Sorry - Butch, your turn.
