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 100 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-11-07    Domdaniel: <Joe> Remember <Two-Birds> aka <Larkers> (copyright Open Defence) aka Doggimus (copyright Jessica)...? Yep, same guy. For some reason the girls like to give him cute names. I'm jealous as hell, of course. Mar-11-07    Domdaniel: <Eyal> Nominative Determinism strikes again: <Peter Gay's biography of Freud> If I was called Peter Gay, I'd probably feel mysteriously compelled to write a biography of Freud as well... Mar-11-07    Eyal: <(1) I don't remember the other time.> <Mar-03-07 (jessicafischerqueen chessforum) Domdaniel: <BadTemper> What a coincidence. I produce a reality TV show called Blind Drunk and you seem to be just the sort of enterprising young person we need...> Funny, I thought you did remember it. I mean, messing with both jess and Nimzo - not exactly the way to get on your good side... Mar-11-07    Domdaniel: <Eyal> Oh, absolutely. Was that the same 'person' ... hmm. Well, what does he expect? I insult people for a living. I can't be expected to remember their individual little sins, can I? Mar-11-07    Domdaniel: Come to think of it, the Nimzo business was just a sort of absent-minded swipe in the dark. If I'd made the connection and recalled that this same twat had been making noisome noises in Jess's place, he'd have had reason to feel insulted. Mar-11-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Bad Temper> was that creep (one of only two- if we count IBM or WBM)-- Thanks for chasing him outta my sty, <Dom>. <I, DOGGIMUS> Episode Two: Doggimus is briefly imprisoned for gobbling up the roast beast off the table while no one was looking.. But then is freed through a complicated escape engineered by his <Scythian Mistress Poodelia> Stay tuned for <Episode Three>, <Doggimus Under Siege>!!! Mar-11-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> Scythian, huh? Should be fun. Reminds me (via 'scythe', okay?) of a recent post from some NN of the bible-thumping muscular-xtian variety, who took issue with another kibitzer's godlessness and warned -- in all seriousness, far as I could tell -- "The grim ripper will get you!!" Oh, joy. Mar-11-07    jessicafischerqueen: Ah, the old <grim ripper> ploy, eh? Perhaps <James Thurber> put it a bit more quixotically when he noted <"The claw of the Sea Puss gets us all in the end"> (New Yorker Cartoon, republished in Thurber anthology) Mar-11-07    Eyal: <The grim ripper will get you!!> That was from the Jessie Gilbert page, a little after her death, and was directed to her father: <you can escape punishment here on Earth, but the eternal damnation awaits you. You have the option to pay here on earth to mitigate your eternal damnation. You are not young anymore, how many years do you think you here on earth. The grim ripper will get you!> I remember liking your comment at the time: <Words fail me. Though not quite as much as they failed the writer of this.> Mar-11-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Eyal> who is this <Jessie Gilbert>? A CG.com member? It all sounds very dramatic... Mar-11-07    Eyal: Jessie Gilbert Mar-11-07    Domdaniel: <Eyal> Once again, you're the House Oracle... I'd forgotten the context. Actually, I thought all of that stuff had been deleted when it got really sad and crazy. And I said <Words almost fail me> to <B.Temper>, didn't I? Gotta watch those tics... Mar-11-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> If you've followed Eyal's link you'll have seen a very sad story that got out of hand on that page, with people trying to exorcize their personal demons. Some of the worst stuff seems to be gone now. Looking back, I wish I hadn't intervened, but maybe I helped wrench a couple of them back to reality. I dunno, really. I'll tell you more about it some other time. Mar-11-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom Eyal> Yes I followed the link and had a look. It all seems very tragic and, frankly bizarre... Mar-11-07    Eyal: <Dom> I have to say that I find the Jessie Gilbert pages - with all due reservations - better than some other stuff posted at this site, especially those insufferable, endlessly repetitive Kramnik/Topalov/Fischer (etc.) bickerings going on in some places. At least people were talking openly and directly about some important issues (even if not chess-related), and some of the posts there are actually quite intelligent, or even touching. Re Eliot's Hippo - the final image, besides its satirical purposes, certainly has some delightfully surreal qualities. And Eliot's use of the "conceit" device, which he loved so much in the Metaphysical style, is brilliant. The very (well-developed) comparison between such apparently "incomparable" things as the church and the hippo, and on top of that the way the hippo comes out better of the comparison. The use of "traditional" form - meter, rhyme and stanzas - is also very nicely done. Mar-12-07    chessmoron: <Eyal> Really!! Kramnik/Topalov argument is probably the best thing chess had to offer right now. The arguments made CG.com site probably alive and spirited. There's like 10-20 posts per minute every single day. Now it ends, it gets a bit boring now and then. Mar-12-07    Eyal: <chessmoron> Well, to each his own. During the Elista match it was certainly very exciting, but I find that when repeated for the 853,476th time (correct me if I'm wrong), these toilet jokes do become a bit stale. Mar-12-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Stale Toilets>? So you've been to the <Cambie Street Bar> in Vancouver then? Fab! Ringo Starr Mar-12-07    Domdaniel: See? Toilets and TS Eliot in one thread -- who said the art of anagrams was dead? <Eyal> I agree about the idiot futility of the KramTop nonsense, but then I rarely see it. And I find the whole subject of fan-style obsessing over players quite bizarre. My own homages to Saint Nimzo are, of course, exercises of a philosophical nature... Mar-12-07    Domdaniel: This is page 100. Persons of a Decimal persuasion are encouraged to celebrate by decimating. Mar-12-07    mack: Evening <Dom>, been internet disabled for a few days. Expect a long appreciation of Entropanto soonish... Mar-12-07    Domdaniel: Evening <mack> ... thought you'd been a bit quiet ... as for the Ent Thing's 20-year-old ancientness, I just wish I could pull the same trick off now viz the year 2027... Mar-12-07    jessicafischerqueen: Ah well done on your Hundred Days, <dom>. Avoid Wellington and Blucher!! Mar-12-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> Thank you, thank you... did I say <decimate>? That's for preteens. I must have meant <centipede>. La Femme Cent Tetes aka The Hundred Headless Woman Great imaginary chessgames #100: Max Ernst vs Ernst Mach (Baden Nedab, 1991) Mar-12-07    Eyal: Speaking of "The Hundred Days": <The Corsican monster has landed in the Gulf of Jouan> <The cannibal advances toward Grasse> <The usurper entered Grenoble> <Bonaparte occupied Lyon> <Napoleon approaches Fontainebleau> <His Imperial Majesty is expected today in his faithful Paris> (From the Paris press, during Napoleon's march on Paris) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 100 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
