   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.

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 ...

Jun-08-07  TheSlid: <Does the Nameless exist?> Is this not the starting point for Aristotalian logic? If you know the name, you know the thing. If you can name it, you can tame it.

  jessicafischerqueen: Correct, <radioactive one>.

And hence the "science" of definition-making and analytic philosophy is born in one fey breath...

<Bertrand Russell> on <Aristotle>:

"There is no point reading Aristotle."

Ironic, don't you think?

What are the <Necessary and Sufficient> conditions for defining a <pratt>?

Just wondering.

  jessicafischerqueen: Whoops dropped this in the wrong forum.

Jun-08-07

kill msg jessicafischerqueen: <OSAKA, Japan - A group of scientists in Japan have developed a robot that acts like a toddler to better understand child development.> Huh! <Child development> indeed.

<Nippon> is clearly developing a robot army, an army that will inevitably turn on its masters, at which point only <Governor Arnold Scwharzenegger> will be able to save us!!

Ack! Warning, warning!!

AWHOOGA (air raid sirens)

Jun-08-07  Ragh: J, whatever you might say, I have a strong instinct that <Dom> is <Offield>. Here's the science of deduction, my dear Watson:
1.Profile of <Offield> matches to that of <Dom> picture perfectly. 2.User Offield is never to be seen posting here after Dom started posting.

3.Style of writing/kibitzing by both users is strikingly similar. For example, (a most important piece of info in the analysis) the word 'icosatriophile', is used by only these two identities in the whole world.

  jessicafischerqueen: <Ragh> good lord you may be uncovering the greatest security scandal at <CG.com> since the infamous (and hilarious) <Slomarko2> debacle!!
Jun-08-07  Ragh: J, LOL, but you would never know for sure until <Dom> *confirms* this. But, I know its a *fact* for sure. PS: Did you see the way I highlighted a couple words here.

  jessicafischerqueen: Yes, meaning that YOU could also be <dom>, for all we know.

Or I could as well.

My real name *is* <Legion>, after all.

Prediction: <Dom> will issue a <non-denial denial>.

Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: I see your point. To be <Dom> you'd have to be 23.
Jun-08-07  Ragh: <Prediction: <Dom> will issue a <non-denial denial>.> Don't worry. We have all the evidence to submit before the court of law.
Jun-08-07  whiteshark: Well noticed, <Ragh>, there are some strong clues <und so weiter>... But <Offield> only 166 times kibbutzing in less than 5 months, hmm.

There must be a story behind this obviously story. Go on, sleuth, follow the trace of money...

  jessicafischerqueen: <White shark>

Well done on spotting my reference to <All the President's Men>, which could be the best movie every made in America.

Jun-08-07  Ragh: That's a good point you've noticed <shark>. J, please dont confuse us investigators dealing with a serious matter on hand. Had to zap the previous post..too personal.
Jun-08-07  Ragh: J, Don't be surprised if tomorrow morning you might wake up only to notice that page 183 of this forum is declared missing. No traces left for the history to take notice.

  jessicafischerqueen: <Ragh> That would be evidence that <dom> has been taken over by an alien life form. Like from <Spain> or something like that.

The <real Dom>, if we can still safely use that term, is dead set against deleting anything.

They had to drop a nuclear bomb on him to get him to do any deleting in here, as a matter of fact.

But as time goes on with no word from
"Dom," the conspiracy may take an alarming direction.

Jun-08-07  Ragh: J, The quest just doesn't seem to end..

<"I used to be somebody else, but I traded him in."> This movie quote is the very first line in the profile above. I think, it was only meant to give a sort of slight hint for a detective to uncover it ultimately. OK, too much detective work for a Friday. I'm off to catch Ocean's Thirteen now.

Jun-08-07  Ragh: <The <real Dom>, if we can still safely use that term, is dead set against deleting anything.>

Going by your statement, I can safely conclude that a Bermuda Triangle like scandal is highly unlikely to occur.

  jessicafischerqueen: Yes, but perhaps a <Sasquatch type> scenario may develop instead.

All we know for a *fact* right now is that this conspiracy runs very, very, deep.

kill jessicafischerqueen: <All> Please check out the latest addition to the <funniest kibbutzes> section of my Profile. It's from <Bill> and it is surely the <Mother of All Typos>!

<Eyal> I noticed you made fun of me for not deleting the <msg.> thingy when I duplicate a post by copying and pasting, so this time I took the <msg.> thingy out.

Reads much better now!!

Thanks, as always.

Jun-09-07  hitman84: Wagh! Wagh! <Ragh>, That's just an odd coincidence.

BTW, this is a very nice quote...

"Coincidence is the word we use when we can't see the levers and pulleys."

- Emma Bull

Jun-09-07  hitman84: Guess you are right Ragh!

<Domdaniel: Ahh, such delightful delicacies. Mason, who played many games in what was euphemistically described as 'an hilarious condition' at numero uno? I can empathise with that...

And of course <Joe Wms> has been here ahead of me. Inevitable, really. Yo, Joe...

Hi <Offramp>...
Why am I here? Interesting philosophical question. In the old days, when I used the name <Offield>, I had noticed our, ah, lexical contiguity. However...

  jessicafischerqueen: <Hitman>!! You are a genius!!

You have unlocked the secret of a conspiracy as tangled and diabolical as any before in human history!

Brilliant mate!

I guess all that's left to say is that "Dom" has some explaining to do when he gets back...

Dim of the Yard

Jun-09-07  Eyal: In fact, the identity of <Dom> and <Offield> was never a secret - no need to get so excited about it...

<Domdaniel: <mateo> Nun of the above. Nor even John N. But the last time we met here I was called Offield. I traded him in.> (Topalov vs Kramnik, 2006)

<Domdaniel: It's probably fine. I have a previous-life account myself under the name 'Offield', although I forgot my password and never got around to resurrecting it.> (twinlark chessforum)

<Domdaniel: My previous username here was Offield, which some folk inevitably took as a sporty amalgam of 'offense' and 'field'. Actually it was just a dodgy back-translation of Duchamp into English.> (mack chessforum)

<Domdaniel: <Jess> -- <"Why not, Mr. Richter? Do you think that life is so important and chess is not?"> C'est parfait, ca. Merci.

Earlier today I had to chide a friend of mine -- splendid chap, highly intelligent, knows lots of stuff, but persists in the curious delusion that politics is in some way important. Along with nations, wars, revolutions, republics, all that sort of stuff.

In particular, he clings to the odd belief that the people who had a revolution (or 'rising' - it sounds less, well, revolutionary and possibly more macho) in Ireland in 1916 were important and even heroic. Whatever that is.

Nonsense, I said. The era of Kafka, Einstein, Duchamp, Tzara, Joyce and Nimzowitsch? How can a provincial bourgeois revolutionary (or 'riser'?!) possibly compare with such titans? How can you seriously mention Irish independence in the same breath as My System and The Large Glass? Nationhood versus the Nimzo-Indian Defence - no contest.

This is not yet a popular point of view in these parts. But I'm getting there.

Mr Offield> (Domdaniel chessforum)

Jun-09-07  Eyal: Elementary, my dear <Ragh>.
