I cannot fathom how no-one played Elephant and Castle early in the game. This is Original Modern, after all.
0:19 0:30 😂
Relax and Enjoy the genius at play
Stay Silly
Stay Safe
Keep North of the River after 8 1:53 😂
2:26
I just wet myself
2:38 mornington Crescent 3:19 🎉🎉😂
I think you’ve answered your own question. It’s because this is Original Modern rules, playing E&C early here wouldn’t be allowed. You can’t be pass on a lateral without being in Nidd. You are probably thinking of Essex protocol rules. 👍
@@offroadmisfits Did you forget to observe the date of play?
The ‘thumbnail’ on this, shows the street where my grandmother was born nearly 130 years ago.
That must have been very uncomfortable for her mother, born on a street.
Anybody would think this is complicated. It's NOT verbal chess. It's more like rocket science but without the rockets or the science.
Graham absolutely on fire here; running rings around Barry for a start...
Yeah, very funny...
Graham wasn’t there. That’s Paul Merton
I don't get it, what did he do?
Play seems to be much faster with the original modern rules.
Masters of the game.
Charlotte Street indeed. Fell right into that one. Amateur.
Hour.
Uuuh spoilers! ;)
Well I for one didn’t see that coming and I’ve followed the game for years, so I can forgive him that mistake.
But a second visit to Pall Mall was dirty play. No wonder he tripped up with Charlotte Street!
@@TheGrumpybstard Ah, no, you see, there was one visit to Pall Mall, & one visit to Pall the Mall. Different squares for perfectly valid, & dare I say gentlemanly?, move...
I've never heard anyone nominate Rotherhithe Tunnel. I realise that under Stovold it would be out of bounds (because it's below the diagonal) but surely it would be legitimate under both original and standard rules?
This! So glad I'm not the only one confused by Rotherhithe! Does it perhaps have anything to do with whether paired play is involved right before the diagonal is crossed? I'm still fairly new at this, and I tend to play under Southwark, so I could easily be missing something. But it seems a fair move?
It's legitimate but makes the entire Vauxhall quadrant virtually unplayable so not a great move.
spot the mistake!!!!! (to be fair to Paul it was being played at speed)
2:08 Little Portland Street - Very questionable move ,,
exactly what I was thinking.
Disagree, very underrated manoeuvre
@@9696bjh I like it, unorthodox.
I'd have gone Barons Court - could have been at Mornington Crescent in the next move but one
Not if you’re in ‘nip’
St. Martin’s Lane?..........lucky he wasn’t disqualified!
Not under Lockdown Johnson v2 rules
I wish they had been using International Rules, it's a quick move to Hollywood and Vine.
Not if you have to go via 42nd Street
@@highpath4776 dont forget your diagonals are quartered when applying the southwark method. Gets me everytime
NUMBER 42, MORNINGTON CRESCENT. This is a mathematical version I've just come up with for those who like maths, or are good at faking it. Navigation is via houses at the station, using mathematical logic to get from one number to the next. The final destination is No. 42, Mornington Crescent. No limit to the mathematical formulae or transformations used. Only rules are entertainment value, BUT the last move must use genuine maths. Mathematical logic can be challenged and entertaining explanations expected.
This is my blind reaction of this game ive never heard of. This geography based game on how to get to Mornington crescent.
It’s just silly, any of them can say Mornington Crescent at any time but say other names to keep the game going. Silly but usually hilarious.
Oh dear, this is embarrasing
Do not be fooled. Nothing is as it seems
Millbank? No Sir, Edgeware Road and Mornington Crescent I believe.
not on odd numbered Thursday or the month of June, unless it is an oddnumbered Thursday ON the month of June, but in that case, you should play Paddington if you play on Grandmaster level
Manuel Dornbusch but for gods sake, NEVER play paddington on an even numbered Tuesday
Marylebone Station? Hmm I think that was a lateral move from Tim there
That's fine if it doesn't cross and is continuous.
@@nicholasmarty4370 actually it doesn’t need to avoid crossing in original modern nor does it need to be continuous as long as the opening play is bilateral. It’s a common misconception really as a lateral cross would 9 times out of 10 get you into nip so you tend not to see it
There must be something wrong with me. I haven't the faintest idea what this is all about. Where can I find the rules?
Malcolm Dale In the BBC vaults. Just next to where they keep the Swanee whistle in Charlotte Greene’s antique handbag.
Which version do you want the rules for?
It can make a big difference, for example the rules governing the Royal and Ancient Rules are almost entirely dissimilar to the Old Etononian Variations; except for where they are virtually identical.
Once you've decided on the variation - a full copy of the appropriate rules can be obtained from the BBC; simply Telex them on Wood Lane 570; being sure to include all nine digits of the six-figure reference for the particular rule-set.
They are kept next to the rules for QI scoring.
you dont need rules - you just pick it uo as you go along
To be the unfunny nob: there aren't any rules. The whole thing is a joke.
Was this played for the armatige shanks chairty bowl
Made out of only the finest recycled porcelain!
@@colinr0380 no way. This was obviously played in the twford arena games! How do you think they got those acoustics?
I got to Mornington Crescent seven moves before they did - amateurs!
Using the same rules? That's almost impossible.
Possible but would involve a professional foul
Definitely some illegal double shunting going on there. Even if you invoke rule 13, you'd still have to go diagonal first.
You’ve got to love the irony of someone who is obviously the complete definition of amateur- doesn’t even understand Rule 2 (which would in itself prevent MC in under 5 moves with Albany as opener, not to mention the diagonal constraint in original modern) -calling these seasoned players amateurs. LOL
Always start at Chalfont and Latimer....
I am known for playing the Holborn gambit and quite succesful with this against all players of the Canary Wharf school and hold myself most times against the City of London deflection tactic
That's a really strong opening move as long as you're playing the modern game. If you were playing the classic rules (or indeed Topshams variation) you'd probably be blocked within a move or two.
You need wide legs for that
@@highpath4776 Just put them around your head in a Hainault Loop
Great for beginners, easily blocked by those with more experience
A real nail biter, this one. I think Willy Rushton was a bit overconfident - that's what you get for trying to be funny, especially if you succeed!
I don't recall a mention of Piccadilly Circus. Is that not double score in the Original Modern Rules? I'd like to play this game but I'd have to use the Abridged Dallas Transit Ground Rules because I've never been on the London Underground. I'd be playing at a handicap under the Original rules.
Are you allowed to use the World War II tunnels?
Only in the Churchill Variation
Little Portland Street? Portland Place would have been a more tactical move at that juncture.
It’s original modern, not ahistorical revised. The real power move would be a repeat of Fenchurch street.
there not proper underground stations
What ARE the rules for Mornington Crescent?
The rules couldn't be simpler.
@@serigrapher2 To be fair, they could be simpler but that would invoke Heisenberg and, thus, end up more complicated. Life, eh?
Well I think you'll find that that depends deeply on the ruleset being played under. As this is Original Modern rules I believe it's a modification of the Original Original Rules. Although they mentioned the Original Ancient Rules, there's very little connection to what would eventually become the original rules that were modified to create the Original Modern Rules
Yes
Don't tell him Pike.
Most of these goes aren't real Tube stations! What a farce :\
I noticed that. Or is this a variant using London street names? I only just found out about Mornington Crescent. Still trying to make sense of it.
Wowza! Either you're both amazing trolls or incredibly dumb. Either way, congrats!
This is original modern rules.
Nah, you have to actually *call* a strike on the Central Line; an implied go-slow on Hammersmith & District has the same effect though, if you're playing Hillary's Variations.
Who said it was tube stations? Nobody said they were using the Gaiman Varient, otherwise it would have been Knight's Bridge and not Pall Mall.
