News is breaking that Vladimir Putin was playing Mornington Crescent with the Ukranian President a couple of months back, the President put Putin in croup, and... well we all know what happened next!
Take care when playing against foreign leaders, ladies and gents.
Anyway, Having studied the run of play over the past 24 hours or so, it would seem that Rushton's reverse gambit is in order, although it's only permissable as long as there are no under 18's and nobody shorter than 4' 6" playing.
I believe we're ok on that score, so...
