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 184 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-09-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Vintage Eyal>! But, in this case, you came in <too late>, much like <Da Bishop!> in <MPFC>. How is your work coming along? I still say <Dom> could have even more than two people, Holmes. Jun-09-07    jessicafischerqueen: <I forgot my password> ????? We have passwords? How come I don't have a password? Did I get a password when I opened my forum and then just forgot about it? I really can't remember. ACK Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: <Ragh> As I say above, "I used to be somebody else". No secret, alas. I've even explained *why* I 'traded in' Offield for the current identity. Actually, now I think of it, I've given three different and quite contradictory explanations. Never mind. One of them is probably true. Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: <non-denial denial> I never said that! Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: <non-non-denial-denial> Then again. If true, this means that all along "I" have merely been the ghost of a sockpuppet masquerading as the sockpuppet of a ghost. Sad, that. Excuse me while I have an ontological crisis. A <crise d'ont> as les Frogs would say. Jun-09-07    whiteshark: <Excuse me while I have an ontological crisis.> <Dom>, you are joking, aren't you <?????> deep worrying white Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: <Joe King> No, I don't *think* (*heh*) that he's on my list of alternate identities... lemme check... <Jess> You should have a password. But if you tend to log on from the same computer then those cute little cookie-cutters will do the remembering for you. <Offield> was a surly, incommunicative bastard, never said much, usually hung out at the fringes of live games, goading the godly. People also tended to assume that the name was a sports reference. Or an agricultural one. Frankly, my dears, I don't know which is more embarrassing. Of course it could also be mathematical or even electromagnetical, which is tolerable. Dah Chump Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: <Eyal, Jess, Whiteshark, mack, ragh, et al> ... all these incredible deductive and research skills put to such trivial uses. Between us we could take over the universe. Not that it'd be worth it. Power brings all those tiresome responsibilities, like feeding baby Martians and equalizing Titanian tax bands. Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> -- <the best movie every made in America> Hmm. Does 'America' here include Canada (Cronenberg, Videodrome, Dead Ringers, etc)? Mexico (Bunuel, The Avenging Angel, etc)? Texas (Linklater)? Quebec (various Batracho-American filmmakers)? Define parameters, pls. Was ist <Amerika>? Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: <movie heresies> While I'm on the topic, another heretical thought: Kubrick should never, ever have set foot in Britain. Both 2001 and Clockwork Orange are almost spoiled by 'English' bits featuring character actors that make the films seem like minor 70s sitcoms with camerawork by God. Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: <jess> -- <But as time goes on with no word from "Dom," the conspiracy may take an alarming direction.> How does the song go? <You must remember this That beds get rumpled Skirts get crumpled But time never goes by...> Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: <Mother of all typos> And Chessica's entry is: <I still say <Dom> could have even more than two people, Holmes.> Unless she actually meant it. Gulp. Jun-09-07    Eyal: <typos> How about the following one from Bill's profile: <I layed M. Tal in a simultaneous exhibition at the Marshall Chess Club on March 9 (Fischer's birthday)in the mid-1980s> Unless he actually meant it etc. Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: <Eyal> Quite. It seems that these humans have one-track minds, but only their fingers are consciously aware of it. Of course it should read 'slayed'? Or perhaps 'flayed'? Have you tried spelling your own username backwards? Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: <Bermuda Sasquatch> So you've accidentally stumbled on the secret spawning-ground of the Aquatic Sasquatch (aka Froschmann Sapiens Sapiens). Now forget you ever read this. Jun-09-07    mack: <Unless he actually meant it etc.> Tal was a very handsome man. Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: <mack> Maybe he was and maybe he wasn't, but all those so-called 'simuls' must have ruined his health. Oh my tadpoles, is the once-mighty <frogspawn> to be reduced to an exchange of puerile double entendres, none of them particularly funny? Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: At least I got safely past the 6000 mark without anyone noticing, including me. It's a bit like The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance out there. Or The Shootist. There's always a hipper, younger, faster gunslinger stepping off the evening stage. <"There ain't no straw for my horse, There ain't no water for my horse And there ain't no Santa Claus On the evening stage."> - Captain Beefheart Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: Hmm... footprints make for bad tradecraft. And everything is so easily computer-checkable for data points and prime vectors and first principal components. It gets harder and harder to have no face, no name, no history, no fingerprints, no native language. Or <No horse, No wife, No moustache> as my old "Wanted" poster used to read, back out West. Maybe I should stop using *asterixes* and switch to +obelixes+ or #ptenisnets#. Jun-09-07    whiteshark: swotting ==>> so 2 x bumfit + pimp = giggot Jun-09-07    whiteshark: <#ptenisnets#> is an anagram of 'Nest in pest'. Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: Or "pest in nest". Or "Ten-step sin". But actually Ptenisnet, pronounced 'tennis net' is an Egyptian character in an Asterix cartoon who talks in hieroglyphs. Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: How to say '1984'. 19 = metherer bumfit We don't have a word for 'eighty' so we'll borrow the French convention of calling it 'quatre-vingt' or 'four twenties'. Danish and Welsh do something similar: it could be a remnant of an old celtic system. So 80 = 4 x 20 = mether giggot[er] And 84 = mether giggoter mether So 1984 is: Metherer bumfit mether giggoter mether Which would be a great name for a book about a totalitarian society of sheep-counters... Jun-09-07    Domdaniel: I'll never be able to look at a 'score sheet' again ... Jun-09-07    whiteshark: <<<tripple> mether> scoring> After reading that I laughed so hard that milk came out my nose...and I wasn't even drinking milk!
