   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, ...

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: <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 ...

Frogspawn: Levity's Rainbow

Kibitzer's Corner
< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 271 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
Nov-23-07  Tomlinsky: <Frogspawn Tournament Tips Newsflash>

Slight modification of a renowned Gary Kasparov technique whereby the removal of a jock-strap and then slammed onto the table before a game commences appears to be worth at least 200 Electric Light Orchestra's has been noted during the first season of trials.

  jessicafischerqueen: Hi <Dom>!!

Here I am shoplifting and dancing alone in my apartment to the most <unpretentious love song in history>:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xezm...

Just saw the new <Ian Curtis> film on <illegal streaming Internet video> so I was at my "video researching" again.

Nov-23-07  WBP: <Dom> Ah, so it was the proverbial youthful indiscretion, the partaking of matured Swedish milk was. OK. But the tie-in with your taking up chess is truly interesting and worthy of study. I wholeheartedly agree with your plan of rounding up the 1000 students to do experiments. These troubling days I'm all for doing experiments of any kind on students.

Being a leg man, I quite like the idea of having spiders for breakfast (though perhaps I'm sharing too much information).

Turkeys can vote???? It's an outrage.

Or is it? We humans have pointedly demonstrated our failure to properly utilize the vote to bring about good; perhaps our gobbling friends could do better. Their first vote: a referendum on Thanksgiving.

  Domdaniel: <a renowned Gary Kasparov technique ... the removal of a jock-strap ...>

Eh, do we really want to go there? I'd like to be able to eat later today, if possible, and some images are best left unimagined. I find.

But <Her Majesty> seems to want us to go there. Or somewhere where somebody has green eyes. Who am I to argue?

I *have* noticed recently that (mainly [ex-]Russian) GMs, when referring to games played against Gazza, tend to call him 'Gary Kimovich'. Is this just routine Russki patronymic-waving, or is there some other agenda? As if to say ... um, "Gary Kimovich -- whom I obviously knew extremely well, hence my use of the familiar patronymic -- is our beloved ex-comrade in chess. This Kasparov guy is just some politician."

Right, that's it, enough already with beating around the bush. Let's beat the Bush! Let's burn the Bush! Let's see if we can make it *talk*, like the great ancestral Bushes of legend.

I don't know that jockstrap technique. Though I once played a guy whose pre-game ritual involved rolling up one trouser leg (ha! probably a mason!) to reveal a bowie knife strapped to his shin (a mason *assassin*!). He then extracted the knife and placed it beside the board, with the sharp end pointing towards his opponent: implicitly saying 'play a move I don't like and I'll slit your jugular before your hand reaches the clock.'

He also had a big savage dog and kept piranha fish at home. Queer for Death, in other words. But, let's face it, not as scary as a jockstrap.

HOly Cow <Ian Curtis> not the only talented member of <Joy Division>

NEWS FLASH

You better watch that video I just dropped in your house <Dom>, it's bloody exquisite

"No I never
met
anyone
quite like you before"

Nov-23-07  WBP: <Jess> It's 8;42 AM, middle of the night Korean time. I'm sitting at my desk, plotting my great six-year project to take over the world. I've been working on this one for several years--really all my life, but we men are slow, you know.

Forgetful. That's why we need instant replay in our sports broadcasts--we forgot what just happened and need to be reminded.

  Domdaniel: <Bill> Not sure if turkeys have full voting rights -- some concern over stuffing ballot boxes, I think -- but I know one ran for election as President of Ireland a few years ago. He polled quite well too, beating the mainstream parties in some parts of the country. It helped that he was already a TV star named Dustin.
Nov-23-07  WBP: <Dom> <<Bill> Not sure if turkeys have full voting rights -- some concern over stuffing ballot boxes, I think> WIST!

Guess he could almost wing it.

TV (or movie) stars running for office! What next?

  Domdaniel: Hi <Jess>, what are you doing up in the middle of the sky? You're practically at perihelion or azimuth or zenith or whatever it's called. Like, five miles high in a one-mile universe?

What exactly are <greay eyes>? Greasy? I knead to know. The way some folk seize to exist ...

  Domdaniel: <Jess> I'll watch it. I've been following all your vid suggestions -- that <kingscrusher> bloke with his 180-move weird computer game, where Rybka 'sacrificed' the 50-move rules against Zappa, and lost. Also that Dylan chap that you and <mack> were on about.

Gotta stay 'hep' to what the young folk find 'groovy', after all. Lest I be found square, or even trapezoidal.

Nov-23-07  achieve: Good grief!

As soon as the Queen arrives on the scene, all the old nags jump up from their wheelchairs and start walking purposefully towards.. err...

  Domdaniel: Funny <thing>. I got a bigger database of chess games than CG. Si, si, even me ... anyone who can load up Fritz owns Death.

He or she who possesses Rybka sleeps with the fishes and wakes in Neptune's Bosom. (In ancient times, a 'bosom' was a kind of domain, and some people got two.)

Yes, yes, I know that Max Von Sydow loses his game, his life, his pawns, his soul, his underwear and his friends in the Bergman movie, The Seventh Seal, and the Scott Walker song of the same name. So technically Death 'owns' him. But since when did we at Frogspawn let a heavily-armed mixed metaphor stand in our way?

Point is, this site is not really up there with the brand leaders when it comes to zillions and quimspillions of chess games. Nor, since it lets people like me in - and some of our games, even - can it claim to select only the best of the best, like, say, NICbase does.

But it's turning out to be an excellent 'smart guide' to youtube clips, especially those featuring Dylan, Topalov, soft pawns and Punishment Chess. You haven't seen <Punishment Chess>?

Pity. The dog ate the URL, and I only google when there's a 'c' in the month. I use the Mayan calendar for international trade, espionage and war, and the 'Pataphysical Calembour for other stuff.

<So what the heck *is* going on here?>

- The aliens control us, Captain. Any minute now you and the gorgeous Uhuru will be *forced* to enact television's first interracial kiss.

But, that's, that's ...

- Latent miscegenation, Jim. Oo hooer oo.

  Domdaniel: <Jess> -- <British Gangster films> Yes, but have you seen the Cork fighting film, <Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Langers>?

We did "Langer" in Cork-101, didn't we? It means: drunk, sober, person [affectionate], person [abusive], person [deeply insulting], somebody from Cork, the male member, somebody not from Cork, amsd*.

amsd: "agus mar sin de", Irish Gaelic for <und so weiter>, et cetera.

I was obliged to savage it the other day under its other title, <Strength and Honour>. Under yet another name, Strength And Honor, it won best picture gong at that wellspring of the Irish-American imagination, Boston Film Festival. And Michael Madsen got 'best actor' for playing Sean O'Rocky, the Erse Angelweight boxer.

You don't need <achieve>'s incredible ear to perceive something odd about the accents. Like Vinnie Jones as Smasher O'Driscoll, rootin', tootin', bare-knuckle king of the Oirish Travellers, who makes Brad Pitt look like a Christmas Tree decoration.

Come to think of it, if Brad ever feels the urge to be impaled by a spruce <spruce>, I'll *buy* the DVD.

In mitigation, finally there's <a noir-ish melodrama> that's also <an Oirish melodrama>.
