Thank you, Simetra. I'm doing my best, but there is so much I don't know about the game.
Is it my turn?

Little played but very effective for mid-game advancement

Simetra Posted Jul 27, 2006

Stratford

You can't do that, the equilateral is unbalanced due to my vowel count that put me in spoon.

Simetra Posted Jul 28, 2006
OK then you must provide a triplexical diverted node move instead (sorry to any beginners but sometimes these advanced gambits are required to maintain a smooth flow to avoid any possible Nid situations)

I think that is OK which leave me open to play the doublet

Octagonals aren't appropriate in Beginners' games ??
Oh, well...

The whole point of this game is for beginners to learn the home truths of advanced play so Octagonals are OK if there is an experienced player on hand to be a Buddy, so if any beginners a bit worried about all this I will play a simple Rushton Retort

A retort, which, quite obviously, wouldn't have been playable after an octogonal.
London Bridge
And that, given that I cannot see any nids in effect, opens the end game.
