GrandmasterP Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) An easy and oft made error Apech.... Had there been no R in the month in an uneven ended year (May 2011 for example) then you would be quite correct, however as it is December 2012 the gambit may be played, provided of course each player remains comfortable seated during the move. Have you the old rules? We tend to use the 2009 amended, the one without the illustrations. It has far fewer advertisements towards the back than the now almost defunct 2001 edition which of sad necessity remains in use amongst expats and colonials. Next year's all comers open is to be entirely 2009 for the first time. Edited December 20, 2012 by GrandmasterP 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â I still play by the deQuincy convention on weekdays but reverse positions on being Trumped, I find the endgame is more elegant without the ability to swop junctions for roundabouts.

GrandmasterP Posted December 21, 2012 Playing Mornington Crescent is akin to a religion here in the UK, next to soccer it is possibly our most participated-in sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeQuincey you say? A fine player in his day, one of the old school. Sadly Opium's gain was Mornington Crescent's loss.
