I thought I'd replied to this but I was wrong. An excellent idea. Let us
know if you need gaps filled (as Samantha would say)

Don't know what you're talking about.
I thought I liked him until I tried re-reading some of the ones I had
liked. Very hard going and it seemed a bit laboured. Not surprising
really, considering his problem with deadlines.
Died so young. :-(
Unlike dear Humph.
Which brings me back to the game of "Mornington Crescent".
Oops!
Sorry.

Not a legal move. Samantha would have objected but her hands were full
at the time.

I am afraid that you will find it is, under the Snodgrass ruling.
And do tell dear Sam, not to speak with her mouth full, as well.

The Snodgrass ruling is a very narrow ruling, and doesn't apply when
either Vroomfondel's or Majikthize's rules are in effect. I'm surprised
you didn't know that.

Well, the gaps were filled, however it seems that Stephen has oddly
crossed the diagonal, a move of questionable legality at best, and tried
to do a runner.
