   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 ...
 
   Jan-06-19 Maurice Kennefick (replies)
 
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-11-07  Ragh: <jess> How about the task of finding whose eye is that on <Dom>'s avatar?
Jun-11-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: <ragh> Actually <Dom> confessed about the <eye> a long time ago.

But I totally forget the confession! It's buried somewhere a hundred pages back or more.

Good idea though.

Jun-11-07  WBP: Remember the time we drove <Eyal> out of his own forum with all the numerology stuff? Looks like we've more or less done the same with <Dom>.

Jun-11-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: <Bill> impossible.

<Dom> always drives TOWARDS numbers.

BTW, <Eyal> also kicked everyone out once for posting too many <James Bond> trivia questions.

Heh.

  Domdaniel: <Jesus Jokes> "put me up for the night" ... heh ... normally these jokes result from attending Catholic institutions of so-called learning -- The Little Sisters of the Sick, or Saint Blaise's College of Oral Hygiene...

The Last Booze-up

Peter: Jesus! There you are! C'mon in, bro! Will yeh have a pint?

Jesus: Pete, have you been drinking? With everything we have to do?

Peter: Just a few, Jeez, old mate, just a few -- and, sure, weren't we planning a party anyhows?

Jesus: Yes, of course, the Last Supper. But that's tomorrow. What are you doing here now? Plastered, if you don't mind me saying so.

Peter: Well, it's like this, old pal. See, Judas here came into a few quid...

  jessicafischerqueen: Oh and <dom> actually reads EVERY post in his forum, even after he's been gone for days.

Sometimes he compresses responses to several people at once in a single reply.

And sometimes you'll find him responding to something that was posted weeks earlier.

Jun-11-07  whiteshark: I still can't believe want happend.
<Dom> did't use any offence language. There was only some advanced Cumbric sheep counting.

Mysterious that is.

My only <explanation> for that is that Big cg.com Brother is watching us and randomly deleting post here. Maybe he get up on the wrong side of the bed that day, or toilet paper run out or he was shocked on the mirror image, whatever...

Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: Heh. A few quid, is it?

Told ya <Bill>! <Dom> never drives away from numbers.

Jun-11-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  Domdaniel: <jess> Two deletions that I know of -- first those 20 numbers, then a reference to the fact that counting thus was called 'scoring'.
Jun-11-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: <Sharkman> There is actually a list of banned words. However, if you push it too far with the words that aren't banned <tit> for example, they WILL come down on you like the Wrath of God.

Which is what already happened once.

So we gots to be careful for <Dom's sake>.

Tits oot for the lads, for example, could easily be taken the "wrong way," even though it's a harmless expression among <birdwatchers>.

  jessicafischerqueen: Yikes <Dom> mebbe we should "lay low" for a bit.

We don't know what the punishmen for a "second offence" might be...

  jessicafischerqueen: I don't understand why they haven't pruned my house yet.

It's an Absolute Disgrace as well.

  Domdaniel: <Jess & Bill> -- < I bet you 500 American that not one post from today is deleted. And I should know. >

Before you two start making wagers, be clear on the terms: does this include "force Dom to dam well tidy up again" as well as "Zap from above without consultation"?

Because I have this feeling I'll be down on my knees scrubbing soon.

Jun-11-07  whiteshark: <JFQ> Gimme a link to the dirty, banned words...at least a list...aaah for pure linguistic purposes
Jun-11-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  Domdaniel: <Bill> Nah, you haven't driven me out. I *like* this. I just can't keep up, is all...

<Jess> Did you explain to whoever axed about 'titbits' vs 'tidbits'? I'm not clear on the difference myself? Are both pronounced 'didbidz' in Canadian?

And neither has anything to do with avians or mammaries. Or portions of same.

Jun-11-07  WBP: <Before you two start making wagers, be clear on the terms: does this include "force Dom to dam well tidy up again" as well as "Zap from above without consultation"?> I meant strictly the latter.

And I'm off to get my car fixed :=( I'll be interested to see what your forum looks like, <Dom> upon returning later! *)--that's a cyclopes smiley face!

Jun-11-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: Yes, a "t" within a word is almost always pronounced "d" in <Canadian>.

But a "t" at the beginning or end of a word is almost always pronounced "t".

So it would be <Tidbits>, pronounciation wise.

This is actually a serious linguistic post.

One more example.

My real name is spelled <Ray Luxury Yacht>, but it's pronounced <Arthur f'tang f'tang Ole Biscuit Barrel>/

  Domdaniel: <Jess> One reason: you sometimes play chess in your gaff, in between bouts of minor debauchery.

But I'm pretty much a full-time social degenerate. Some folk were actually surprised to see me watching a chessgame earlier today.

But Bill's even worse. He's a Holy Trinity.

  jessicafischerqueen: <Whiteshark> You'll know yourself if you try to post them. A big red sign comes up in the <preview> box telling you not to post it.

So you can post "bloody", but not "bloody H___", for example.

But PLEASE be careful testing in here cuz that's what got <Dom's> whole forum nuked.

I was typing word after word with "test, test" after it and CG.com REALLY put their foot down.

They have automatic filters, but they do read the posts, they are not stupid, and they are "watching" both me and <Dom>. It's <sexual innuendo> that they will not tolerate. The rule is that if a Child could read it and understand the <sexual innuendo>, it's not allowed.

Test at my place if you really have to, OK? I haven't been shut down yet.

  Domdaniel: How about some nice Gilbert & Sullivan?

<On a tree by a river a little tom tit Sang willow, tit willow, tit willow.
And I said to him, "Dicky-bird, why do you sit
Singing Willow, tit willow, tit willow?"

Is it weakness of intellect, Birdie, I cried
Or a rather large worm in your little inside?>

I loves that Victorian sheet-kickin music.

  jessicafischerqueen: <dom> perish the thought! This place is full of more <chess> than any other forum, even in the <post Nickel era>.

FROGSPAWN LIVES! NIMZO IS DEAD BUT HE'S A SAINT!!

Never surrender! 1917 and all that.

By the way, my new <Horowitz> chess book says "The Irish do not play chess well, historically."

Not kidding.

Also, how do you play chess "historically"?

Jun-11-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> noooooo you are tempting fate again.

Maybe the <Horowitz> quote was a typo, and he meant:

"The Irish do not play chess hysterically"

Jun-11-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  Domdaniel: I concede that to the untrained eye -- <Hai> called 'em 'Amish comp ops' but I still think they're scientologists with great big E-meters -- the <scoring> count-system could look suspect.

A sort of QC: Queen's Counsel aka Queer Code.

Of course your Cumbrian sheep-counter would beat you up on the spot for pointing this out.

Jun-11-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> really please be careful. This forum is everyone's refuge, kind of like a "wildlife sanctuary".

Plus what if they step up the punishment? We need you for you as well.

I'm gonna email you tonight, that's what I meant by we are "long overdue for a chat if you catch my drift."

Much, much gossip and tidibits to catch up on.

Chessica Lamb, esq.

  jessicafischerqueen: You know the sad part is that the <Cumbrian counting> information is fascinating in a <bona fide> sense.

Whither scholarship?
