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

Frogspawn: Levity's Rainbow

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 158 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-10-07    whiteshark: <Jess>, I deleted my message 5mins after posting, of course. But that's a long story for cold winter evenings at the chimney fire… May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: Ah part of the mystery revealed!! Thank you, estimable <carcharadon carcharias>, perhaps you'll find time on one of your merciless sweeps across the Pacific to tell the rest of your yarn. Is it as good as <Heart of Darkness>? May-10-07    whiteshark: <fyg> g= guidance, but <giraffe> is o.k. May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: Yes, Giraffes require Guidance as well. My brother is a professional <Giraffe Counselor>, in fact. I was going to go into the field as well, but I get nervous in buildings when the ceilings are too high. Jess of the gets scared in Museums May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: <DUS> "np" Heh. May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: BTW, "np" is <Internet slang/abbreviation> for "No Petrosian." LOL May-10-07    Domdaniel: <DUS> I *always* like new words, and I try never to be angry. Welcome to the club. Funny how this "peasant" theme has turned up lately. Anyway, I was wrong about WB Yeats -- he liked romantics, aristocrats *and* peasants. Thanks for the info that Nigel -- or somebody -- has been erasing posts. There goes his chance of winning this month's Spirit of Saint Nimzo Award. May-10-07    Domdaniel: This is getting quite weird. Has the original <DUS> message vanished now? Wasn't me. I never delete anything, except when held incommunicado and tortured. Then I give in. May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> I come from peasant stock and I'm a crappy chess player to boot!! Both my maternal relatives worked in a <fish cannery> and my paternal relatives were <railway switchmen>, one of whom drowned in a puddle in Thunder Bay, Ontario, while drunk on the job. So i'm like <Petrosian> but untalented? Jess of the <Peasant Revolt> "These Peasants are Revolting"!! (2d Aristocrat): "You said it"!! Jess of the Groaner May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> I don't think <GMNS> knows what to make of you, which says a great deal more about him than you. (sotto voce): I don't think he's a "reader," per se... May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: Yes, the post is clearly zapped. Do you think GMNS has "long fingers" at this website, or the more likely explanation is DUS did it himself? Or CG.com is targeting him? Sure it has nowt to do with you, mate. Curious though. The GMNS pages have devolved into farce, which is pretty funny if you ask me. May-10-07    Domdaniel: <Bill> While contemplating your reference to nudist LOL recovery groups it occurred to me, maybe for the first time in my life "y'know, maybe there *are* worse things than slugs, after all". But I suppose laughing out loud is a reasonable response under such circumstances. If God had wanted us to wear woolly jumpers he'd have made sure we evolved from sheep and kangaroos. May-10-07    whiteshark: <JFK> Is <Counselor> = Whisperer ?? If so, THAN YOU HAVE TO SPEAK LOUDER, anyway, i guess. <Heart of Darkness> The dark Congo is 2,000 miles away from my present territory arount Capre Hopy...., but i'm northbound May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: LOL <jumper> meaning <sweater>. In Canada a <jumper> is a kangaroo. You foreigners sure talk funny. May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: So you are in <Asia>!! May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom>, I think someone is trying to kill all the non-black and white animals... giraffes, kangaroos... I think this might be a job for a film critic/superhero... May-10-07    Domdaniel: NP is "no peasants" surely, Shirley? According to Kurtzian logic that would automatically include Petrosians anyway. Although perhaps not all of them. NP Compleat May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: Maybe <Kurtz> should review his study on <peon structure>, not at all sure that he's got it right... May-10-07    whiteshark: Ansia, Afriaca, Atlantica, Amrmenia, Azerbania, I don't care !! May-10-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> One theory. "DUS" isn't actually a name, or a user, or even a handle. It's computer code for electronic invisible ink that makes the message automatically fad after 5 mins. Or so. No? Maybe he'd just rather 'be' somewhere else. Maybe the depravity of these pages came as a shock. Maybe he took Sharky's advice and headed off to Armenia-on-the-Wold. Maybe he wanted a fight and the news that I wasn't angry sickened him... Oh well. Ars longa. May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: Viva Briefs!! He woulda zapped alla his posts if it had anything to do with you. Maybe INTERPOL is involved... He could be a computer- perhaps a viewing of Verhoeven's underrated <Starship Troopers> in order. I don't do anything unless TV or a Movie tels me to do it. May-10-07    Domdaniel: <Enigmatic, this large quasi-fish (not a true fish, has no bone, only cartlidge).> The sharks have eaten Katrin Cartlidge? Whoever she is. As long as our own esteemed <Weisse Hai> had nothing to do with it... May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: Actually Dom I'd never worry about offending someone if I were you. In all the time I've been stalking you, I've only ever seen one person get huffy with you-- <twinlark> when you called him a "dog." Heh. Cave canem. and he's devoted to you!! People get honked off at me all the time. You = polite, considerate Me= boor It's a fact! May-10-07    jessicafischerqueen: kk <weisse hai> is too good to ruin by GOOGLING. White yes? (German-Japanese) AHHHH remember Poland and December 7, 1941?? <waist high>?? Is this person one of those midget chess prodigies, like the <kid with the panda>? Lemme know if I got it or not... May-10-07    Domdaniel: <In Canada a <jumper> is a kangaroo.> Not on the set of Stargate Atlantis, it isn't. There it's a small spaceship. <Jess> Are there many words for 'kangaroo' in the Canadian language? Just asking. Yes, of course us furriners talk funny. That's why we're furriners. As for the matter of Kurtz having a virtue, and it being funny... yes. Do you think virtues are generally funnier than vices? Or, um, vice versa? Being lazy, my main concern is usually whichever of them requires less energy. But I'll take funny as a back-up ... hmm, back-up what, exactly? ... back-up discriminatory sieve. Hard work, sifting stuff. Wheat, chaff, vice, virtue, und so weiter. Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 158 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
