Ross should have retired from playing MC after this game. It would have given him perfect match figures, similar to a bowler playing in his maiden test and getting a wicket maiden, then retiring.

Very slow tempo game. Huff after huff then a linking bypass back to Archway. Sunday league stuff at best. 3/10 Avoid.

That was a fair win from a complete novice! I don't think the others properly explained that Oxford Circus is not really an offside trap as an opening move, but may become one if contested (not applicable here). Vauxhall is sound, but the Overground link isn't very beginner-friendly or advisable. The reverse option isn't helpful here and should have been ignored in a novice Z1 game, but one must learn at some point. The Piccadilly to Northern line was serving it up on a platter, but well done for Ross to find it. Love seeing any new player of the Great Game!

With beginners, or if we just want a quick game in the pub, I never play Overground lines. Also, Kravitz rules tend to really make it too long for newbs to get a real handle on the game overall - don't want anyone in nip too often!!. I do like the Earl's Court variation, though - it opens up the Circle line nicely for new players, and although it can be a bit of a handicap for a more experienced player, it's well worth it to get more people interested in playing.

There are many variants, all with rules which are both commensurate and disparate from each other. The ideal introduction would be to read a transcript of a novice variant (limited to the congestion charge zone); with all the player's explaining their moves: www.isihac.co.uk/games/mcvariations/novice.html

@@kevincurran530 I think I understand your train of thought, but considering Ross is a beginner and the definitive lateral has been played, even after a play like sloane square, the only way I can think of guarenteeing not going into nip is playing the monopoly using the tunnel overlink but surely that is too advanced for a beginner. (Btw I thought you couldn't play the zone 2 realistic options bearing in mind the congestion charge or was that after those pesky 2005 updates?)
