A move of such devious cleverness with a hint of audacity to it is surely one to behold! Alas, the merest flicker of the index was all I was allowed at the time, however I understand the Tudor Shuffle is fully described in the fifteenth suppliment; "Shuffles and 101 other side-step moves when the cross diagonal is blocked" by Scrommins and Boggle. >I think there's a reference copy at the Bodlean, but it's out of print, >isn't it?

I lived for a short while near Kentish Town in the late '90s and commuted every day on the Northern Line past Mornington Crescent. At the time it was closed for major refurb so I never actually got to stop there (more's the pity). I wonder if those tapes are cemented beneath the tiles? -- www.slowbicyclemovement.org - enjoy the ride |
