I believe "Challenging" meant to invoke rule 221 (not b), which would have allowed the Norwich variant and land him squarely on Pimlico.<BR><BR>I'm going to stick with Arbuthnot and move to Maida Vale, with an option on Monument to block.

Think! This game is going too fast. Let's all not get so excited or we will have to pause for the Napoleon manoeuvre, and that can take hours of play before we can leave it. <BR><BR>Anyone willing or daring enough to engage in the Snape's Drift with me? Could mean blue chips and a Get Out Of Kilburn Free card. <BR><BR>Vauxhall

Boomer, we play by the Honeybone version too! It's so rare -- we should get together for a match!<BR><BR>I have a question about whoever invoked the Heimlich Manifesto -- it directly contradicts the Australian LBW rule of 1932. David West, can we have it both ways?<BR><BR>If so, I'm going to Paddington. Thanks.

and NO, a swithback is not the same as a switchback! It is much harder to go without a swithback.
