Arrghhh. I had the whole thing planned out, grrrrr.

It was a fairly simple execution of the cross-line block-in, to my mind.

I'm not protesting, B, just kicking myself for not defending the parallel!

True, but I'll like to see you counter it!!!

Actually, the defence wouldn't have been that simple. You'd have needed a blocker on both Brixton and Chalfont And Latimer.

It's easy to block Brixton, just shunt Stockwell. That's why people normally use Brixton as an opening move!!!

Which you need to put in 8 moves before the treadle, yeah, yeah

There's still a fairly obvious flaw in that Brixton can be counter-rabbitted in three moves via Gospel Oak. It's a risky strategy though if ever there was one.
Anyway - back to today's game:
