   Jan-06-19 G McCarthy vs M Kennefick, 1977 (replies)
 
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 ...

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 (replies)
 
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 ...

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 ...

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 (replies)
 
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 ...

Frogspawn: Levity's Rainbow

Kibitzer's Corner

Apr-18-07  mack: I was questioned by police for twenty minutes in the House of Commons today. Jealous?
Apr-18-07  whiteshark: Massimo Luccioni wrote a 210 page monograph on 3... a6. Dr. Watson had another view. In <Play the frog> he only wrote: <One can choose 3... a6 to meet the Tarrasch, but it's a <marginal> move that <never> become completely <respectable> Fullstop>

This is one of the reminiscent-worthiest sentences which I have ever read. Say it's <marginal> (military: collateral) etc ! He saved weeks of research and analysis. Only Sun Tzu's <Be subtle> is of similar strategic deepness.

Life could be so easy if you know the right sentence in due time.

<mack> appears to be no one less than <St. Thomas More>, benighted chancellor of England!!!

More on this story as it "develops"...

Apr-18-07  mack: <jess> It was all Gerald Kaufman's fault - More can't say that for himself, can he?

Oh yes. So the Bill are finally cracking down on PM's question time, are they? Good show.

I see that Gordon Broon believes that trivia and celeb culture is dead and the high seriousness is returning. Obviously his advisers don't read Frogspawn.

  Domdaniel: <Jess> You got me there. I know vaguely what a fir tree looks like -- you find small ones attached to fairies' bums at xmas -- but I have no idea what species it belongs to. Is it an amphibian?
Apr-18-07  mack: I would dearly love to go and watch QPM, but it's very hard to get a ticket. No, I'm afraid the story behind my near arrest is far less interesting - I was interviewing Gerald 'Nosferatu' Kaufman and afterwards he decided to send me out a dodgy members-only exit that plebs like myself aren't supposed to use. When I strolled out into the blistering sunlight the rozzers honed in on me in an instant, presuming I'd been getting up to nail bomb shenanigans or summat. Eventually, after a really quite vigorous grilling, they said, 'Who you say you were speaking to again?' When I told them Kaufman, one of the lads gave a sort of knowing nod and went 'Ohhh, Kaufman, well he's a bloody law unto himself, isn't he?'. And with that I was set free.

  Domdaniel: Meanwhile ... great moments in human history, #4097.

For the first time *ever*, somebody in Canada just googled Gerald Kaufman.

  Domdaniel: <mack> This incident is clearly linked to your inflammatory remarks about Kasparov's arrest. The Met have to be seen to cooperate with the Russians in Interplod. Kaufman is probably working for Bobby Fischer, renowned author of 'I was tortured in Pasadena jailhouse' and other tales of incarceration.

You, Kasparov, Fischer ... the fuzz get all the greats in the end...

Apr-18-07  mack: <You, Kasparov, Fischer ... the fuzz get all the greats in the end...>

Aw shucks, I'm in good company there. At least two out of three of us above still claim to be World Chess Champion, too.

Apr-18-07  mack: <This incident is clearly linked to your inflammatory remarks about Kasparov's arrest.>

Indeed. Good job they didn't beat me slowly death chair legs.

Apr-18-07  whiteshark: froggy guerilla googling attac ?
Apr-18-07  WBP: <Dom> <Fried Mental Mooted> Summarizes my state of mind of late all right! <Mack> congrats on your newfound notoriety! (I was once questioned by two policemen for several tense minutes--turns out they wanted to know where a doughnut shop was.) Between the recent <CC> lawsuit and now this, it seems we need more and more lawyers on this site.

  jessicafischerqueen: Right! That's it! Stop that now!!

This forum is an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE.

With all the lucrative new Ad revenue FROGSPAWN (incorporated) is bringing in, and we can't even afford a secretary?

When asked why Canada didn't have a <Foreign Secretary,> Prime Minister <Mackenzie-King> said "Why would we need a foreign secretary? We have a nice British girl who does the job."

True story, Google it up yer arse if you don't believe me.

KK going insane, I still think we should hire a maid.

Just saying.

Apr-18-07  mckmac: <Domdaniel : Right, lads, all this'll have to go. Demolish that wall there and make room for a .... a what?>

That'll be the kitset aviary for Auntie's constant companion the Morepork (Ruru) called Roger.A non-negotiable in the contract,so sadly my cat Claude has handed in his notice.

There have been delays,we've had the painters in.They didn't quite complete the job and I am holding their Gregory Isacc's CD and pouch of herbal rolling tobacco in anticipation of their return.Ho hum...presson regardlessmajeste (Frogspun motto #1) I s'pose.

Aunt Bob says she doesn't recognize the name <GM Kurtz>,but she is a little addled.Perhaps a brief bio,or even a photograph might help.

OK LOL you've done it!! I don't understand a SINGLE WORD of your last post.

It's a HALL OF FAMER to be sure.

Good work, and best wishes on your quest to destroy the possibility of communication between homo sapienses.

I'm with you the way all!!

  Domdaniel: c'mon, Jess, I'm sure you understood several words, many of them different.

Kurtz, for instance. Isn't that the German for Short? As well as being a Conradian antihero, a Brando tour-de-France, and a vaguely ominous term in some dark Balkan tongue?

Just apply the same principle to the harder words like 'the' and 'cat'.

Speaking of cats...
Paw to paw three
- Aw, ain't he cute?
- Hissss. Scratch.

Um, I think Mogadon here has beheaded Auntie Bob. Thought she was a robin redbreast, well, I did warn her about the pink cardigan.

Like a green rag to a frog.

  Domdaniel: Dear Aunty Bob

I'm glad the head transplant has taken and I'm sure three heads are better than one. Meanwhile, I have a question.

Right at the bottom of this forum, waaa-aaay down under, there is a picture of a hand with an erect thumb, above the words "What is this?"

It's a hand, is what it is. My question is, uh, why? And should a gentleman make such gestures in public?

  jessicafischerqueen: I like the way you're thinking-- Tom Cruise as Miss Piggy?

My Mom can pitch in as sound editor, she did the post-production sound for <Dark Side of the Moon>.

<Dom>, you are aware that there is a truly terrible Cult Horror film from teh 1970s called <FROGS!> in which an assortment of Frogs, Spiders, and other members of the Racoon Family "turn on Humanity" and kill a bunch of people.

Re: Title ---

Perhaps simply, "The Frog as We Know Him Today?"

Could get picked up and syndicated in <Le Mondial>!!

You never know.

Well, actually sometimes you do.

And what about cleaning this place up? It hasn't been dusted in weeks.

I'm Not Going to Do All the Cleaning Just because I'm a Mna or whatever the heck the ERse call me.
