The wisest words I've heard on here in many a year.

Are you straddling?

Sorry no. I prefer the Allen and Marksfield revised rules which insist
on only adjacent play. Mind you, these revised rules were printed in
1973 and have since been superseded by the updated Carrington
Manoeuvers of 1992 but I am sure you are all aware of these.

Because of this I have to be very wary of who I play with.

Lisson Grove.

Aha, do I detect an imposter in our midst?

According to Regina v Bettswood at the High Court as noted in the
Combined Law Chronicle 2006 vol 342 pages 97-98, this opening gambit
was not only declared competely invalid due to it being contrary to
the original spirit of the 1752 rule book (now almost impossible to
obtain), but also that the perpetrator must suffer the indignity of
two missed turns.

I do, however, have a near mint copy of said rules on Ebay at the most
reasonable "buy it now" price of £25,475 and if the above item was to
be purchased before the end of the week I would be prepared to turn a
blind eye to such an outrageous opening.

But I am forced to respond with the obvious - Queensbury.
