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 170 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-23-07    Domdaniel: Welcome to the Million Frog March. Ready? Set? Right ... Hop it. May-23-07    TheAlchemist: Only 25 or so to go? Hey, wait, what if the millionth post will cause some kind of catastrophe? May-23-07    mack: Although boys throw stones at Frogspawn for sport, Frogspawn does not die in sport, but in earnest. -Bion May-23-07    Domdaniel: <Alchemist> I will indeed explain. Just a sense that the rest of us are hitting keys at random, but you know some Actual Useful Tricks. Bound to give you an Edge, that. May-23-07    Domdaniel: "you posted a message only 173 seconds ago" Argh, they've gone into three-minute mode. This is getting to be like the Olympic Egg-and-Spoon race (soft boiled version). How can I be expected to waste 3 mins between posts? I'm going home. Uh, I *am* home. KK, I'm going out. For two and a half mins, anyhow... May-23-07    mack: <Bound to give you an Edge, that.> Yet another famous Irishman you've met in your travels? May-23-07    Domdaniel: "It could be you" Anyone wanna take me up on my thesis that lotteries are a Stupidity Tax? May-23-07    mack: <How can I be expected to waste 3 mins between posts?> Danny Baker would make a two hour radio show out of this topic, I'm telling you. May-23-07    Ragh: this is the millionth kibitz. May-23-07    Domdaniel: <another famous Irishman you've met in your travels?> On my travels? Sure, doesn't he live just round the corner, under a large castellated woolly hat built by the Normans? It's the Bobo one I worry about. He called me 'the devil incarnate' once, and those guys don't use metaphors. May-23-07    Domdaniel: And our millionth poster is .... Joe Stalin. Step right up, Joe, and tell the folks about your chess forum, your favorite openings, how to liquidate a backward kulak, overprotection by terror, and how you made friends and influenced so many people here at Cg.com. Over to you, Joe. May-23-07    TheAlchemist: Damn, I missed it. Oh, well... May-23-07    Domdaniel: <Ragh> Congratulations, you won, stars explode, rockets go off, god that was anti-climactic, what'll we do for fun now? May-23-07    Ragh: As declared by chessgames.com officially, <NakoSonorense> posted the 1,000,000th kibitz. May-23-07    Ragh: <dom> Unfortunately mine was 999,999th post. It was posted just before Nako posted his winning kibitz at The Kibitzer's Café May-23-07    mack: <what'll we do for fun now?> Shove crips packets down rabbit holes? May-23-07    Ragh: <Dom> Yeah, I still see the Diwali crackers lighting up the sky at chessgames abode.. well, it definitely is something to celebrate I guess.. May-23-07    Domdaniel: Lucky escape for all of us, there. I'm sure <Nako> will do 'em proud, and be a poster boy (sic) for CG, and say sensible chess-related things. Just imagine the shame and embarrassment if one of the cryptic idiocies here had 'won'. They'd have hunted us down like dogs. Nevertheless, I had to try. <Ragh> 999,999 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 11 x 13 x 37, much more interesting than a string of zeroes. You get the Frogspawn award for 'Last of the 6-digit posters'. May-23-07    TheAlchemist: <Unfortunately mine was 999,999th post> How do you know that? Weren't there other posts on other pages too? I wonder where I finished. May-23-07    jessicafischerqueen: Wow that sounds like an exciting finish!! YES AND IT'S DEEP STRETCH IN THE 2007 <Marlboro Cup> here at <Saratoga> and RAGH A NOSE IN FRONT and HERE'S THE SHADOW OF THE WIRE AND IT'S NAKO WITH ONE FINAL SURGE TO TAKE IT ALL BY A NOSTRIL!! What a tremendously exciting race!! Strongly reminiscent of the <Marlboro Cup> where <Exceller> beat not one but TWO Triple Crown Winnners: <Seattle Slew> and <Affirmed>!! Congrats to <Nako>!! May-23-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Mack> <<what'll we do for fun now?> Shove crips packets down rabbit holes?> Sounds like fun! Or we could play another version of your <bookshelf> game-- Only this time all of us post a list of the CONTENTS OF OUR MEDICINE CABINETS in the bathroom!!! What do you think? (gulps a Prozac) I'm curious myself... May-23-07    jessicafischerqueen: Yikes!! I warned about this kind of thing days ago lads, but did anyone listen? NO! <<Ragh> 999,999 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 11 x 13 x 37, much more interesting than a string of zeroes. You get the Frogspawn award for 'Last of the 6-digit posters'.> Now we've lost him for up to a <fortnight>!! Again- you know what happens once <Dom> starts his "calculations.." May-23-07    jessicafischerqueen: Er... Lads... I just got back from <Nako's> forum, and I don't think he realizes he made the fateful post!! I just congratualated him, but all I saw in there was a previous congratulations for him reaching <10 pages> today!! A banner day for <Nako>!! May-23-07    mack: <jess> Believe it or not, I don't have a medicine cabinet. I do have two (non-cashed in) prescriptions for antibiotics in one of the hidden compartments of my coat, however, which I'm saving for a rainy day. May-23-07    jessicafischerqueen: Hmmm. Well there's <Mack's> list, and I think it is indeed revealing!! Who will dare be next to post the contents of their medicine cabinet? Remember, a la <Mack's> example, the "cabinet" could be a pocket or some other receptacle.
