Alistair, Loren: I feel disadvantaged in this august company, so I turn my keyboard over to me WIFE! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, HAHHHHH... (Somehow the mechanical laugh does not translate well into email.) Alas this anthropological footage of Dwile Flunking does tend to confuse first time watchers into thinking "Trumpington’s Variation" has been employed because of the angle of shooting. While historians naturally disagree, the locals, after sufficient swagging, will confess they follow Crossmead’s Spiral Regulations, the subtle object of which is to successfully girt with a Widdershins Crossmead above the third toss in a stable formation to provide full cross-planar tunneling. In advanced games this occurs at quantum level which grants more tactical options then employing a "Pettiplace," or the more deadly "Pettengale sweep." As for poor Fettiplace, his seminal match against by Mrs. Trellis in the VWDFC (VW Dwile Flunking Classic [German title totally untranslatable]), when she was allowed an unimpeded Euro/Colonial Straddle causing his defeat and subsequent defection to Suffolk. His form has slumped since, then , but whose hasn’t?
