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 247 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Oct-04-07    Stonehenge: <but my <Fawlty Towers> links won't play this week for some reason.> I'm sure that can be manuely fixed. Oct-04-07    jessicafischerqueen: Yes, but it could have been her famous "silent drum" performance of 1972 in which she used cooked spaghettini noodles instead of drumsticks. I never saw any of them live, but I think someone should have had a "heart to heart" with John about his facial hair. Tres declasse, if you ask me. Regards, JFQ Oct-04-07    jessicafischerqueen: HI <Stony>!! I can't hammer a nail in the wall with your Hamster! Well I could try... Oct-04-07    jessicafischerqueen: WEll i'm off to sleep gentlemen. If I wake up teaching a bunch of Asian kids, this must be Korea... Bon nuit, Mr. Fawlty!! Oct-04-07    JoeWms: Dom, I posted you on my less-crowded forum. Oct-04-07    WBP: Hey <Dom>. I never fail to look in to see what's going on in your House of Magic, and never come away without a laugh or two. Winding down after the World Championship tourny. Following those games became nerve-wracking at times, especially that Grischuk-Anand game. Funny thing, I was looking through a collection of older games the other night, and I discovered that Nimzowitsch (alternative spelling; not sure what's correct--could be Nimzovich,no?) opened many games with 1 e4. This caused me to consult the Chessgames database, and I discover that this was by far his favorite opening for white, but that 9and this is what's intersting) his winning p-ercentage with it (%44 and change) was marginally lower than several other openings he sometimes used (including 1 e3). I always assocaited the hypermoderns with more "closed" openings (perhaps recalling Breyer's famous line about 1 e4). I just found this intersting. Oct-04-07    Domdaniel: G'night, Jess. OK, Joe, thanks. Afternoon, Bill. Gosh, this place gets busy sometimes. Oct-05-07    achieve: <Jessica> < I can't hammer a nail in the wall with your Hamster!> Is that an original? Anyway, I like it. It's hard to hit a nail in the wall with almost anything, except a (good) hammer or a brick. (I was a physics buff as a kid) Oct-05-07    jessicafischerqueen: heh no it's a line from <Fawlty Towers>. <Stonehenge> appears to know his <Monty Python and Fawlty Towers> by memory. Regards, JFQ Oct-05-07    achieve: Then why didn't you say so in the first place!!! (You're really making me angry- did you know that?) Oct-05-07    jessicafischerqueen: Well I'm not sure. I normally type whatever pops into my head at the moment. what are you doing up in the middle of the night again? Is <Lars> asleep? Does he have a special <wiener dog> deluxe bed? I need answers... Oct-05-07    jessicafischerqueen: Hey <Niels> it's the weekend here and since I made my "comeback" winning that <Sicilian> against a strong player the other day, I'm all fired up again. I've been looking at the recent posts in the <World v. The Great Jan Timman> Correspondence game, and there's a very interesting argument about computer v. human analysis at this juncture of the game-- they are about to enter the Middle Game, meaning committal moves, and it is a very interesting Dutch. Take a look and let me know what you think of the position if you have time. Regards, JFQ Oct-05-07    achieve: <Jess> It's middle of the mmmmorning in this fforsaken place. Lars has an <Auping Lit-Jumeaux> and he is resting now -- we played pull-the-towel this morning and I didn't want to lose...!!! Oct-05-07    achieve: <Take a look and let me know what you think of the position if you have time.> I'll switch to your forum to answer that (might take a minute) Oct-05-07    jessicafischerqueen: Ok then. I'm still reading through the computer analysis arguments on the last two pages. Very fascinating discussion. I wish I had a <Aupin Li Jumewsx> bed!! No fair!! Oct-05-07    achieve: See, Dom? We've taken you to a Maximum followed by a Century - O'Sullivan style! Oct-05-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Niels>: no time, I'll explain in the car. I've left a message for you at my house. Regards, Batwoman Oct-05-07    Domdaniel: <achieve> Thanks -- next stop, a century (100) plus meta-maximum with free ball and 16th red + black (155) = 255, yes? Ordinary maximums are so, well, common. Don't look at me. I had a break of 24 once. Oct-05-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> we need your opinion on the current <great Jan Timman game> position. Report to my house if yer interested. Regards, JFQ Oct-05-07    achieve: <Dom><Don't look at me. I had a break of 24 once.> Then 271 will be the next next stop. Stay seated, though. Mine is 74 . My mom's 68. Oct-05-07    mack: This is a Frogspawn pronunciation update, brought to you by Chessbase: <The town of Khanti-Masnsiysk is located about 1400 miles (2250 km) east of Moscow, just north of Kazakhstan. The pronounciation of the name is roughly "kanty-mansisk", with the first part rhyming with "hunty"...> Ho hum. http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp... Oct-05-07    mack: The World Cup ought to be great fun, shouldn't it. Especially as winning it actually means something now (i.e. you will become the world championship contender-contender). Oct-05-07    mack: <Madden oil> Can I have your word that Victor Bologan will never win the Spirit of St Nimzo award please? In his Selected Games he writes: <A knight on the rim always stands badly> Always?! Dogma, much? http://www.chesscafe.com/Reviews/bo... Oct-05-07    achieve: I deleted a post here re. the GMT game because it wasn't saying exactly what I meant to. Oct-05-07    Domdaniel: <achieve> -- <because it wasn't saying exactly what I meant to.> Insufficient cause, in my opinion. Very few posts ever say *exactly* what is meant, including this one. But if it's your post, it's your choice. Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 247 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
