Probably me, thinking about it, I've been a faithful listener since Humph was hosting. But still! =]

We're leaving Hogwarts and taking a little bit of a breather with Ron!
Warning: Allusions to the deaths of family members. Also in the garden lunch scene, Mrs Weasley expresses concerns about Luna's puberty-blocking potion, which can be upsetting in the context of IRL discourse surrounding puberty blockers.

It was somewhere in the comments on a post about Anarchy Chess rules.
I'm guessing you appreciate my insight into the true origins of Mornington Crescent as a bastardisation of the noble wizard pastime of Pendragon Castle, then ;)

Though I feel I must point out that Hermione's third move means that a few moves later Draco would have been in spon two ways from the Lord Chislehurst Conjecture, and would have had to backflow via Pengellyn's Martyrdom to somewhere on an entirely different line, such as Avalon Grand Ballrooms or Basingstoke. Perhaps that's a house rule?

That's only if the Weasleys had accepted the Everard's Defence that Regulus was trying to play. by

Instead, by moving laterally to the Silver Isle, they forced Team Malfoy-Black to consider between the Dinsdale Objective and the Stinchcombe Countergambit, hence Lucius crossing over to the Blood Moors. But I understand the confusion--lateral moves against Everard's Defence are fairly nonstandard. But that's why Ron's the chessmaster in the family!
