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 139 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-17-07    Domdaniel: So, what's all this <global domination> stuff about, then? This planet is just an overgrown village, and I have no desire to be its Resident Idiot. Why dominate Globville when there's a whole Galaxy out there waiting to be milked? Heh heh. Dominus Vobiscum Apr-17-07    WBP: <Dom> <So, what's all this <global domination> stuff about, then?> Ah, but you see I've been cured by Aunt Bob of that delusion! If you examine Aunt Bob's post you'll see how brilliant it was. Thank god for advice columnists, without whom my life would merely be an unfulfilling succession of arbitrary bits and scraps. <Why dominate Globville when there's a whole Galaxy out there waiting to be milked? Heh heh.> Double heh heh (good pun, there!). Ahab in Rehab Apr-17-07    mack: Hey kids, wanna have fun? A quick search for 'chess' in The British Cartoon Archive (http://opal.kent.ac.uk/cartoonx-cgi...) should do the trick... Apr-17-07    Domdaniel: <WBP> Thank you for spotting that one. And I didn't even have to mention McLuhan. Makes my day, that does. Cheers, Mars Apr-17-07    Domdaniel: Some endangered species: Bransford's Litter Frog The Strawberry Poison Frog Noble's Rain Frog The Broad-headed rain Frog Warszewitsch's Frog The Mimicking Rain Frog Common Tink Frog Also: Striped Litter Skink, and Homo Sapiens. Apr-17-07    Knightlord: <Some endangered species: > inflatable frogs Apr-17-07    Domdaniel: <Knightlord> Nah, the inflatable frogs are safe for the time being. We manufactured a big pile of spares during our doomed business foray into the blow-up grandmaster doll market. So, if anybody's looking for an inflatable Nigel, Magnus or Garry...? Unfortunately, our backers got cold feet before we could start on the ladies. Perhaps the business plan was upside-down and arsy-versy... The Milky Bar Kid Earth The Universe Apr-17-07    Knightlord: <So, if anybody's looking for an inflatable Nigel, Magnus or Garry...?> Well, at least one or two of them are quite inflated, aren't they? Apr-17-07    mack: Question 8. Do you think that Kasparov and all opponents of the Mighty Mighty Putin should be slowly beaten death chair legs? Apr-17-07    Domdaniel: <mack> For over 200 years, the most frequent punchline would seem to be "your move". Do actual chessplayers ever say this? Mind you, I'd never thought of Kennedy and Fischer (JFK and RJF) as twins before -- American boy wonders up against wise old Russian grandmasters. Apr-17-07    Domdaniel: In fact, this is what Fischer said about Kennedy, circa 1961: "Besides, he doesn't have any class. He puts his hands in his coat pockets. God, that's horrible." The same interview where he said: "They're all weak, all women. They're stupid compared to men. They shouldn't play chess, you know. They're like beginners. They lose every single game against a man." Apr-17-07    mack: Tsk, sloppy, sloppy posting. 'beaten TO death WITH chair legs', thankyouverymuch. Do have a play around with that Cartoon Archive, by the way. It's got everything you could ever wish for and more. Apr-17-07    Domdaniel: <mack> I still think that mysterious question #3 was a ringer -- somebody wants to find out where the Putinists and anti-Putinists are on CG.com, so the boys with the poison umbrellas and radioactive isotopes can be sent into action... Apr-17-07    Domdaniel: <mack> Before it gets lost forever "Slowly beaten death chair legs" would make a good title for a poem. Or maybe a line from a song by late-period Scott Walker... "Slowly beaten death chair legs chair legs Cro-Magnon keepers are keeping the watch slowly slowly beaten death chair legs chair legs" Apr-17-07    mack: Oh, it's relentless, isn't it. There was a good article about Walker in the Sunday Times last week, sure you saw it: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/ar... Apr-17-07    mack: Gosh, 'Slowly Beaten Death Chair Legs' *does* have a slightly perverse beauty to it. I think I'm doing a reading next Sunday, so perhaps I could toss together something with that title. 'This is an old one kids, it's called "Slowly Beaten Death Chair Legs"...' Yeah, I can hear it now. Apr-17-07    jessicafischerqueen: g'day, <dominus and bill> still racing to get that last paper in. I'll email you this weekend with my Sasquatch article Bill, Friday is the last day i can hand my paper in. See you both soon I hope Jess of the Paper Mill Help! we use dioxin! Apr-17-07    Domdaniel: As we say in Froggish, "Ze spirit is willing but ze chair is weak..." G'day <Jess> ... you know that paper is a "medium or ground for the prime American truths - shyt, money and the word..." Haven't these aphorism builders heard of plastic? Apr-18-07    Domdaniel: <Frogspawn Retracts, kinda> Some of you may recall that we were less than pleased when the Guardian (UK) newspaper sacked Nigel Short as chess columnist, and replaced him with a double-act by GM Dan King and chess-mad novelist Ronan Bennett. It seemed like a basic error, to think that readers wanted ordinary-bloke chess rather than comment by a world class GM. Well, the duo haven't turned out too badly, ideologically misguided or not. Lately they've been discussing the French, reasons for playing it, main stratagems, etc. Basic stuff, but not bad. This week they went even further towards redemption, by telling readers that Chessgames.com was a good place to play through classic games online. Excellent advice, and CG is too often overlooked by the media pack. So the Frogspawn Fatwa on the Grauniad is hereby lifted ... on a trial basis. There's still the little matter of the miniature postage-stamp-size diagrams accompanying Leonard Barden's Saturday column. "Put 'em back the way they was..." Apr-18-07    jessicafischerqueen: DEFORMED MAN TOILET!! the Only Online Journal that thinks you're a... Apr-18-07    WannaBe: Toilet?! You guys seen this: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070418...

Apr-18-07    jessicafischerqueen: I can't be judged by normal gender parameters, <Dominus>. Especially when Erse etymology is involved. Sui generis, cave canem-- I hope that's been helpful. I'm just excited about a rare <MannBee> sighting and the new journal that thinks your'e a DEFORMED MAN TOILET!! I wish I had a deformed man toilet at my house. But I live in a trailer and have to get up half an hour before I go to bed etc. etc. Mrs. Crabbe Yorkshire You Think YOU Had it Tough!! Apr-18-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> er...
