Is that a dubble-back move?

Close. It's an up 'n over. According to the Nottingham Addendum to the 1954 edition of the Official Rules, they are pretty much the same. But we are playing with the Bollback rules, which gives a slight variation for both.


No! We are not!

See the top of this page. We are now useing the Elephant & Castle rules (1945 abridged version)

I believe with E and C it gives a slight variation for both as well, so the Up 'n Over is still legal. I'm stickin' to it.

Ok. I will have to force it by using "The Rocket assist Loxley long bow gambit.


Chesham!

Nice to see so many American players! :D

NEON DEON - the point of the "Rocket assist Loxley long bow gambit"......actualy the point of any gambit is to fool your opponent. Telling me that you are employing that gambit is only gonna lead me onto the Russfield attack and I'm not going to reverse the flow and fall for the gambit!
Have you played the E & C '46 rules before. :-?

Hanger Lane It's not a gambit.....honest! ;)

Is that old Albertson's Hammerhead maneuver I see? That one sure takes me back...

To counter, I'll go with PINNER. It's the only counter to the old Hammerhead that puts you in such a tight situation. Hats off, nice try. :yep:

Ahh! But how do you know I am telling the truth? ;)

Have you ever seen the movie "Little Big Man"?

"Don't go down there Genera!l"

or even better: "The Princess Bride"

"Inconceivable!"

And yes I have played the E & C 46 rules before.

I am suprised you fell for my ploy since those very rules outlawed "The Rocket assist Loxley long bow gambit."

In short. I LIED!;)
