Hmm. Quite a clever move, certainly good enough to trick a master player
into moving somewhere like South Kensington. I, however, will perform
the little-used triple re-entrant with diagonal twist and go to:

Warren Street

That was a little predictable; OTOH given the threat posed by both Jim
and myself, I can't see what other logical move you could have made.

That left the diagonal open for my surprise move to South Kensington. :D

No, no, no! How many times do I have to tell you?
Never.Leave.Your.Reverse.Open

You can recover, but might I suggest you first study some of the classic
games referenced in Sherry K. Shaw's 'The Light at the End of the Tunnel
and Other Hallucinations'?
