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 238 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-07-07    jessicafischerqueen: HEY!! I invented the name <goggly doggies>. Do I win a prize? Sep-07-07    Domdaniel: <twinlark> I thought maybe the goggly doggies had been rounded up and sent to camps where they can concentrate, along with other Aussie jokers and dissidents and pranksters. <Jess> You *are* a prize, yer majesty. Good to hear from you, too. Sep-07-07    mack: Anybody home? Sep-08-07    Domdaniel: <m> That depends. Possibly not... Sep-08-07    jessicafischerqueen: ok then anybody <heimlich>? Perhaps nomenclature is an issue here? Just saying. Sep-08-07    Domdaniel: Ni Hua. Sep-08-07    mack: Dom, am I allowed to post another riddle-me-ree in here? I do know you frown upon chess discussion, and will resist if need be. I think you'll like this one though... Sep-08-07    Domdaniel: <mack> Are you *allowed*?? Just try it and see... nothing is true, everything is permitted... Sep-08-07    jessicafischerqueen: So where's the riddle? Sep-08-07    Domdaniel: Invisible, apparently. It's a Zen Situationist Surrealist Trick Riddle... Sep-08-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> You on a day off from Compulsory Indoctrination Class, or something? That's not a glazed faraway look in your eyes, is it? PS. I just read William Gibson's new book, Spook Country. He has characters investing in Vancouver because it is, quote, "very close to China". Has geography changed? Is there still a Pacific? Please advise. Major Dom (retd) Sep-08-07    Red October: <jess> so you are now a <MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE> .... Sep-08-07    Domdaniel: <Red> now *there's* a good idea ... a Manchurian Candidates final and a Manchurian World Champion Match ... where any of the players might be a *mad brainwashed assassin*. Much more exciting... Sep-08-07    Red October: so <Kramnik> was <brainwashed> into visiting the toilet ? Sep-08-07    Domdaniel: Given a choice, would you hand-wash your brain or brainwash your hand? Decisions, decisions... Sep-08-07    mack: Hang on chaps, think I might have just found a bust. Think I've found an error in the puzzle I was about to post, too. Sep-08-07    mack: <Given a choice, would you hand-wash your brain or brainwash your hand?> Heh. I needed some laughter after watching the latest episode of Graham's hugely disappointing IT Crowd; cheers. And the latter, of course. Sep-08-07    Domdaniel: <mack> If it's a bust, I hope it's a magnificent one. Didn't somebody or other, historically, have a <magnificent bust>? Was it Yul Brynner? No, that was a Seven... C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre... Sep-08-07    jessicafischerqueen: hi ho! Yes, <fearless leader> geography is a stern mistress, likely to change her tune at the drop of a limpet. <Gibson> lives in Vancouver, and what he actually wrote was <it was close to MY HOUSE>. The proof readers cocked it up. But in their defence, China is indeed close to Vancouver, in that fully 35% of its denizens are Chinese. 55% of Vancouver residents are Asian. There is now a <Chinese political party> vying in the next municipal elections. <Magnificent Bust>: Margaret Thatcher? Queen Victoria's Secret? Cave canem, gentlemen. Sep-08-07    Domdaniel: <Queen Victoria's Secret?> That could be the secret tunnel between Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and Victoria, Hong Kong, China. Built by Isobar Jean-Jacques Burnel. We are amused. "She was huge, regal, imperious. She was Queen Victoria. And she was not amused." No pleasing some folks. Sep-08-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> Remember that move "Enemy Mine"? Mind if I call you "Limpet Mine"? Heh. Hang on, you've made me drop my limpet... Sep-08-07    jessicafischerqueen: heh yes that would be fine. The reference, of course, is to John Cleese's lecture on the natural history of reproduction, in which "quick as a limpet" figures prominently. Limpet mines-- explain how you are so familiar with military nomenclature, and please also explain why I insist on typing the needlessly obtuse word "nomenclature" over and over. I await answers and further instructions. Sep-08-07    jessicafischerqueen: oh yes and i forgot. If you and <Jessicafischerqueen> want to exchange dirty limer... Oops what a giveaway! Sep-09-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> I assumed you were using *that* word because you'd been secretly inducted into the Nomenklatura. Whatever that is. Or maybe you're using a highly advanced form of English teaching which involves starting with <big words> and <abstractions> and letting the routine bits plug the gaps as they like. Limpets seem to have a mysterious inherent comedic force. Or, in English, they're funny. <Dirty Limericks> Oddly enough, limpet mine, I'm off on a short trip now -- not to Limerick but to the even grubbier <Limerick Junction> ... where trains full of filthy versifiers and purveyors of smutty doggerel wait eternally in the sidings of the soul. Or the slidings of the sole on the tidings of the Seoul... They have exploding railway stations in North Korea, don't they? I dimly remember some incident a few years ago. A foolish young man and his limpet Had lunch but decided to skimp it He said "You adhere To anyone near - And I'm simply not willing to pimp it" Or to quote Mr Dylan on the topic: "...stick with me anyhow/ things are going to get interesting right about now..." Toodle pip. Sep-09-07    mack: Dirty limer? Has it been chasing boar though ditches again? No wonder you want to exchange it for a clean one.
