It is deeply offensive to the serious players of the game to suggest Mornington Crescent is "made up". Yes, to neophytes it can seem random and unstructured but it is preposterous to suggest game with such a lineage is fictional.

Do people still play it now that all the major lines stop at Mornington Crescent? Kids just won’t understand how difficult it was back in the day.
The Mornington Crescent Players Association (MCPA - often lovingly renlffered to as The Scottish Father) unanimously voted through the Flodden amendments last year. The Mornington Crescent Rules Committee (not to be confused with the Rules Committee of Mornington Crescent) will be voting on the topic on December 25th. Whereupon it will be passed to the International Board for ratification.

The only controversial point is it will be applied retroactively over the last decade, changing the results of no less than 3 world championship matches
