dakgootje Member since Aug-04-05 Mir ist bewusst was Freiheit bedeutet Folge dem Wege geradeaus, meide die Tiefen des Meeres, doch hab ich solch Wort hinter mir gelassen. Der Mond scheinet auf jedem Wege, wie die, in der Dunkelheit, wie Diamanten schwimmenden Fische; heiss wie durch Zufall Mensch - und hier bin ich. Was hatte ich zu befurchten, mit was zu kampfen, bald ist es Zeit die Lasten zu legen. Erteile mir noch mehr Kraft, Kraft zur Liebe. Mir ist bewusst was Freiheit bedeutet, mir ist bewusst was Freiheit bedeutet. --- Bio as it used to be: <I dont have any favorite players normally, though Josef Emil Krejcik is brilliant =) call me dakgootje, dakkie, dak, gootje or whatever you like ;-) Lack any opening knowledge and thus improvise them quite often. well not always, i know some basic e4-openings... But i improvise on d4, sicilian, kings gambit and uhm caro kann and philidor and english etc etc etc =P but hey, i do know some of the names! =) Improved a lot on openings lately, keep that in mind if you ever play versus me =P There are three sides to every story-- yours, mine, and the truth Still dont know what to studie next year but "you should view higher education as more of a matter for your self-development, rather than as training for a specific job." (quote-credits to mojo) Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me as a friend.> Docendo disco, scribendo cogito My forum name is actually a reference to a childrens song: <Oh Children, hear the Geese, its cry will make you shiver. For yet it knows that we will feas' on tasty meat, and its liver.> Cheers ^^ NOTE: I will not accept any fights, drama, name-calling and similar in my chessforum. They will all be deleted, no exceptions and no warnings. As it seems, there are other places to do such things.

But that was a bit optimistic given it was some crazy game. And apparently riddled with blunders. It goes without saying this was according to our good friends the Engines - and ...      May-15-13 Annie K. chessforum    dakgootje: I thought Carlsen was quite overvalued actually. Had him winning down as only slightly favorite - perhaps 55% or something. Sooo with only slightly over half the times him being expected to win, I thought there was some massive value there. And there undoubtedly was. Even with ...      May-15-13 brankat chessforum    dakgootje: Come on Hammer.. that was not cool. Just cost me 3.5k right there.      May-03-13 chessgames.com chessforum    dakgootje: Insomuch that politics consists of deaf man screaming at each other.      Apr-22-13 Chessgames Bookie chessforum    dakgootje: <ALERT> It appears round 2 of Alekhine Memorial started just now [aka: 1 hour pre chessbookie closing] .      Apr-05-13 technical draw chessforum    dakgootje: <Yes, there is fluctuation. Usually in the morning real, easing up during the day, and bad at night. So I take the antipsy (zyprexa) in the late evening. And also day to day fluctuation .> At least that's good news.

Really shows the quality of anime isn't in the animation, but in the story. I remember a French animation of a shadow-play. I didn't understand half of it ...      Mar-05-13 hms123 chessforum    dakgootje: So matted elk have the same age as dogs?

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 48 OF 126 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-25-10    dakgootje: <Maar een vorm van beprijzing voor de tijd die je op de weg bent met (vracht)auto lijkt me wel een must, alhoewel ik ook wat bezwaren heb tegen de "over-controle van de overheid", als de privacy in de verdukking *zou* komen.> Ja inderdaad, hiermee is zelfs de vrijheid van auto/motor toch wel gecomprimeerd. Wegen de voordelen van het systeem op tegen de vermindering van privacy? Betwijfel het; daarentegen weet ik ook niet meteen een beter systeem. Bij de verschillende kieswijzers zullen vast vragen komen over dit beleid.. Mar-25-10    cormier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt2Y...

Mar-26-10    cormier: i had only heard the beginning, not enought time because of high-priorities....thanks a lot <<dakgootje>>.....by by Mar-28-10    whiteshark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ88... :D Mar-28-10    dakgootje: Such a great nonsense movie ^^ Obviously, in the real world none dislikes the Dutch! ;D Mar-30-10    hms123: <dak> Br'er Rabbitt...He lay low. Mar-30-10    dakgootje: <H> heh, from miss Jess I am used to not-understanding at least half of her posts but rarely that I do not have the slightest of ideas what you are on about :P :D Mar-30-10    hms123: <dak> I was alluding to your most recent interchange at <deffi's> place. I was referring to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_... specifically, I meant that you should avoid people without a sense of humor or perspective. Actually, it turns out it was Br'er Fox who "lay low". BTW, these stories are no longer politically correct. Mar-30-10    dakgootje: <<dak> I was alluding to your most recent interchange at <deffi's> place.> Remarkable was it not? Perchance [love the word] I offended the fellow at some point in the past and the silly CIA-remark was the last straw, who knows?! Ah well, at least it has the positive side-effect that I've come to known some American folklore, seeing how I had not heard of Uncle Remus yet. Funny enough I was aware of Br'er Rabbit in the Disney-sense but didn't draw the conclusion :P In any case, politically incorrectness of stories does not have to be a burden as they can give a nice look at the morals and values of that era - as long as they are true to them. Little use pretending the stories do not exist ;) Now the only problem remains is finding a situation where I can use the expression 'tar baby'! ;D Mar-30-10    hms123: <dak> I recommend that you not use "tar baby" in the US. The connotations are not considered polite. Mar-30-10    dakgootje: Dear me, I only read the first part at the wikipedia-page; namely: <In modern usage, "tar baby" refers to any "sticky situation" that is only aggravated by additional contact.> But now you said that, I see -indeed- farther on <Although the term's provenance arose in African folklore (e.g., the gum doll Anansi created to trap Mmoatia, the dwarf), some Americans now consider "tar baby" to have negative connotations revolving around negative images of African-Americans.[2] In recent years, several politicians who have publicly used the term have encountered some controversy, mocking, and censure from African-American civil rights leaders, members of the popular daily media, and other politicians.> Absolute shame, there is given way too much importance to the avoiding of offending others even if that means one would have to lie to deny certain cultural expressions. It is a bloody disgrace how easily and willingly people feel offended and discriminated against. But let me not ramble and rant against closed-minded persons, this is not the time and place.

Shocking.... maar nauwelijks nog "verrassend"... <rogge> put up the links again to Susanne Sundfor at my place - and you can also download her album 'The Brothel' from TPB, I think. Also - the travelogue and in depth docu "From Moscow to Murmansk" by Jelle Brandt Corstius really hit me in the face...
