Jan-08-19 Domdaniel chessforum    Domdaniel: Blank Reg: "They said there was no future - well, this is it."      Jan-06-19 Kibitzer's Café    Domdaniel: Haaarry Neeeeds a Brutish Empire... https://youtu.be/ZioiHctAnac      Jan-06-19 G McCarthy vs M Kennefick, 1977    Domdaniel: Maurice Kennefick died over the new year, 2018-2019. RIP. It was many years since I spoke to him. He gave up chess, I reckon, towards the end of the 80s, though even after that he was sometimes lured out for club games. I still regard this game, even after so many years, as the ...      Jan-06-19 Maurice Kennefick    Domdaniel: Kennefick died over the 2018-19 New Year. Formerly one of the strongest players in Ireland, he was the first winner of the Mulcahy tournament, held in honour of E.N. Mulcahy, a former Irish champion who died in a plane crash. I played Kennefick just once, and had a freakish win, ...      Jan-06-19 Anand vs J Fedorowicz, 1990    Domdaniel: <NBZ> -- Thanks, NBZ. Enjoy your chortle. Apropos nothing in particular, did you know that the word 'chortle' was coined by Lewis Carroll, author of 'Alice in Wonderland'? I once edited a magazine called Alice, so I can claim a connection. 'Chortle' requires the jamming ...      Jan-06-19 chessgames.com chessforum    Domdaniel: <al wazir> - It's not easy to go back through past Holiday Present Hunts and discover useful information. Very few people have played regularly over the years -- even the players who are acknowledged as best, <SwitchingQuylthulg> and <MostlyAverageJoe> have now ...      Jan-05-19 Wesley So    Domdaniel: Wesley is a man of his word. Once again, I am impressed by his willingness to stick to commitments.      Jan-04-19 G Neave vs B Sadiku, 2013    Domdaniel: Moral: if you haven't encountered it before, take it seriously. Remember Miles beating Karpov with 1...a6 at Skara. Many so-called 'irregular' openings are quite playable.      Dec-30-18 Robert Enders vs S H Langer, 1968   Domdaniel: <HMM> - Heh, well, yes. I also remembered that Chuck Berry had a hit with 'My Ding-a-ling' in the 1970s. I'm not sure which is saddest -- that the author of Johnny B. Goode and Memphis Tennessee and Teenage Wedding - among other short masterpieces - should sink to such ...      Dec-30-18 T Gelashvili vs T Khmiadashvili, 2001    Domdaniel: This is the game I mean: Bogoljubov vs Alekhine, 1922

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 20 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-02-06    twinlark: Dom - you may need to update the profile a bit. Nov-02-06    whiteshark: stronger than F8 free download engines, don't know a better place than to post here ... Spike 1.2 Turin: http://spike.lazypics.de/dl_index_e... Rybka 1.0 Beta: http://www.rybkachess.com/index.php... to be continued.... Nov-02-06    Domdaniel: <whiteshark> - thanks - I've got about 12 engines on this machine already. I'm not always looking for the strongest. I enjoy watching the weaker ones too - Fritz 4 vs Ruffian or GNU, for example. And I tend to know where to find more if I want. But thanks for the thought. And it may inspire others to arm themselves with Rybka. Nov-03-06    whiteshark: <I'm not always looking for the strongest.> Me, too. I want ideas, to be inspired... In one cc game -2 good moves- I let an engine ranked 158 or so decide which move to take... really ramdon Nov-03-06    Open Defence: <Assistant Chief Troublemaker> if you want to resume hosting strategy no issues :) Nov-03-06    Domdaniel: <Defi> Are you <Chief Troublemaker> already? Uh-oh, I knew you'd carve your way to the top of the hierarchy once you really got going... I'll take Strategy back after a move or two, if that's okay with you. For now I'd just like to carry on with a sort of freelance nuisance role... Thanks. And of course you're doing great anyhow and don't need me telling you that... Nov-03-06    Open Defence: <chief trouble maker> actually the lark is or is that the larks are ? Nov-03-06    Domdaniel: <Defi> The larks be, ma'am. The larks does be terrible pests and varmints round these here parts. Pass me m'shotgun, I'll see if I can bring the blighter down with some bird-shot... Nov-03-06    Open Defence: <Pass me m'shotgun, I'll see if I can bring the blighter down with some bird-shot...> don't drink yer coffee under a tree no more my friend.. you might find some nasty surprises in it... Nov-03-06    Domdaniel: ***A NEW MARKER DIAGRAM*** AN has played 22...bxc6 to reach this position (White to play): click for larger view Nov-03-06    Open Defence: oooh a FEN poster in our midst!!! burn him at the stake!!!!!!!!! Nov-03-06    Domdaniel: <Deffi> You're right, of course. Last thing I need is a Hitchcock-esque war with our feathered friends. I hereby make peace offerings to all birds, including eagles, ospreys, wrens, peahens, parrots, buzzards, robins and (gulp) larks. This page is now a bird sanctuary. To put this another way, my forum is for the birds. "All plumed like Estridges..." Nov-03-06    Domdaniel: Here's a really, really good move. Bird's Opening, 1.f4, is superb. Everyone should play it. Nov-03-06    Open Defence: flippin the bird are we now ? NAUGHTY NAUGHTY !!! Nov-03-06    Domdaniel: Can't win, can I? Nov-03-06    Open Defence: nope just ask <Thorsson> Nov-03-06    Open Defence: btw do you know your avtaar wears make up ? Nov-03-06    Domdaniel: <btw do you know your avtaar wears make up ?> Do I _know_?? Do you have any idea how long I spend every morning, applying mascara and eyeliner with a trembling hand (not shown)?? In fact - originally, that is - the avatar was my joke-response to a kibitzer who posted something like "in the land of blind people is the one-eyed king"... And if you can't be King, be Queen, I always say. Less risk of being mated. Nov-03-06    technical draw: <Dom> A sanitary belt will help you with the early morning shakes.. (a sanitary belt is a shot of whiskey from a clean glass) Nov-03-06    Domdaniel: OK, Tech, I'll take your word for that. But if you don't do some morning shakes, how do you get rid of the leeches? Shake, rattle, and roll them bones, I say... Nov-03-06    twinlark: Back again from the teenage tarmac. Dom, at this rate you'll have to change your avatar to a night owl...you know about birds of a feather all get plucked together or something? Nov-03-06    Domdaniel: Goshdarn it, it's 4.00am and that cheap mascara is glueing my old eyes shut. Better get some, ah, shut-eye - and hope it isn't permanent. I can play our next four moves blindfold, but I'd better find a better solution by then... Nov-04-06    Open Defence: <And if you can't be King, be Queen, I always say. Less risk of being mated.> You haven't seen History of the World Part I then? "Pawn jump Queen, Bishop jump Queen, everyone jump the Queen...." - Louis XVI Nov-04-06    Domdaniel: <Deffi> Ah. Oops. A Mel Brooks fan, are we? I liked Blazing Saddles, Silent Movie... even that StarTrekWars spoof... but I'd forgot old Louie. Bishop jump Queen, indeed. These prelates should stick to their own colours... Hmm. Wonder if the bishopric color-complex thing is a profound chessic comment on the sectarian tendencies of Xtianity? Nah, too deep a question for the morning after the night before. Crikey. I just caught myself counting characters, as if this was a text message and I was running out of space... Message to brain: wake up at the back, there! Nov-04-06    mack: Afternoon Dom. Just wondering if you had any games in this here database - if so I can slot you somewhere into my last two posts on my chessforum.
