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

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 280 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-12-07    Domdaniel: <Guy in toque> This'll never travel - only Canadians wear toques. <Guy in rotary baseball cap> What's a schedule? Dec-12-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> You think 'qua' is bad? Trying putting 'quaquaversal' in a film review sometime... Dec-12-07    WBP: <Dom> <Jess> <Anyone else> Speaking of movies, have you seen No Country For Old Men? It's very gripping and powerful, but what's really intersting is that Javiar Bardem's makeup/wig/etc. make him look exactly like a photograph of Chicago mobster Joey "The Clown" Lombardo taken sometime in the '70s or '80s. I can't find it online, but it's in several books I have. I believe it's a mug shot Instead of his usually huge grin, he sports a truly frightening scowl. Perhaps some of our more online-saavy types can find the photo. Dec-12-07    Domdaniel: <Bill> I've seen neither the movie nor the mugshot ... is there an optimal order in which to tackle them? I haven't read any Cormac McCarthy books either: it's a big blind spot. Dec-12-07    Domdaniel: "Then all at once among the bottles/ A host of golden axolotls." Wordsworth got us into trouble before, he can do it again. I use the term 'us' advisedly... Dec-12-07    Open Defence: <Domdaniel> you have sold out.. you have been nominated for a dreaded <Caissar> Dec-12-07    Domdaniel: <Deffi> That's Niels's doing, trying to make a respectabubble citizen out of me. Some hope. It happened last year too, and I finished nowhere -- so I reckon I'm safe from having to make speeches that go *I'd like to thank my* ... <bursts into tears> *my, my... gosh I lurv all of you little people so much* blah blah blah. Dec-12-07    achieve: <Mr. Dd> Hey, relax man! I happen to be one of the few who recognize your vital place within cg.com and mystic powers and boundless creative energy that keeps us alert, on our toes- and at the same time comfortable and relaxed! (KK at ease Niels - just remember it is an "Irish thing"..) PS. Good to see you again after the (technical) disturbances. Dec-12-07    achieve: PPS. <I happen to be one of the few who recognize ... > That looks to be a grammar/spelling mistake... I think it should be "recognizes" *including* the "s"... Though I am not quite sure... yet... (linking the verb to "one" or "the few"...) Dec-12-07    jessicafischerqueen: I nominated you also, but for which cagtegory I can't remember... I think it was <Mr. congeniality>, but it may have been <the swimsuit competition>... Dec-13-07    achieve: OK - for the record -- Actually I'm not that into "Top 10" and "best (ever)" lists that have irritated me over the last few years because of the amount- and pointlessness of it in magazines, papers and on Dutch TV (literally lurking in almost EVERY TV-show --- and it didn't stop after the turn of the millennium..) - it's just names-dropping of the celebs most of the time and some other stuff... but I succumbed to *some* sort of urge to participate after seeing <brankat> and <Deffi> post their lists. People seem very into best ever lists, TPRs, other rankers (betting) and comparisons- and statistics in all shapes and forms. I thought I was not one of "them" -- heh... until a few days ago... But I guess it can be fun in a way, just not sure yet *which* way... When I have respect for someone's efforts and talents, I usually just go up and tell them -- No big fuzz or award shows... But to (yet again) use one of Jessica's catch phrases: "I may be barking mad!" Dec-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: Heh we share your <pain and fun>, Niels I'm sure... My favorite "ranker" of all time, of course, is the <Monkey ranker> in <YouRang> prediction contests. I think the <Monkey> is a genius. Regards, JFQ Dec-13-07    Domdaniel: ... and, yes, rudely and churlishly rejecting compliments *is* an Irish thing. I really should try to be less transparently ethnic. So, anyway, it's 5.00am, my broadband is humming again, so far, and ready for that Live Broadcast Page thang... Oh-oh. 5am USA East Coast time? And, like, 10am Yurp time? So I can go back to sleep for 5 hours? Okay, three. Is this Thursday? Am I here? Dec-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: heh tonight should be a <corker> of a draw-- All the usual idiots will be there, including the founding editors of <MAD Magazine>, although they are all deceased. I've got Trolls on ignore and I'm ready to roll!!! Only one and a half hours to blastoff. <Kamka> wins, you heard it here first. Regards, JFQ Frogspawn Pop Culture History Department, GOOGLE- cheat Flying Squad. Dec-13-07    twinlark: <Dom> See Joe's place. Dec-13-07    WBP: Hey <Dom>. Not sure, to answer your question. The movie is truly very violent and powerful 9with a healthy dose of good old black humor folded in). I've read all his books except two, and NCFOM is one of those two, so I don't really know how the film and book differ (though I'm guessing the Tommy Lee Jones character has a bigger presence in the book). Hey, if I had a nickel for every blind reading spot I have, I'd be firing Donald trump. I am finally working my way through A Thousand Plateaus, and am very impressed by it. But I'm also enjoying it immensely--I can't wait to get back to it whenever I'm away from it (honest!). Very entertaining. Dec-13-07    Domdaniel: <Hyde, Bolus & Aaargh> Why, I wonder, did I post a 'humorous comment' on this game between Lasker and 3 opponents, when the solution to the current puzzle, Lasker vs 2 opponents, lay about 2 mins search away? I'm an airhead, is why, prob'ly. What was the question again? <Bill> After '1000 Plateaux' try 'The Italian Wedding Fake Book' by Deleuze & Guattari. A Pynchon jest, whatever that is. My punishment for this joke: right now some cretin is doing a heavy metal version of 'Figaro' outside my window. Wonder if I can throw a dagger from here ... Dec-13-07    WBP: <Dom> Ha! Yeah, 1000 Plateax does have a Pynchon-esque aspect to it. (Curious: in which Pynchon book are D & G alluded to? I know, don't end a sentence in a preposition.) Ah bravo Figaro! Dec-14-07    jessicafischerqueen: Isn't the correct term <Pynchonianesqueness>? I don't want to quibble... Dec-14-07    Domdaniel: <Bill> Vineland. Punk band at mafia wedding scene. Somebody saves their collective ass with a copy of the D & G songbook... Dec-14-07    WBP: <Dom> Gracias. <Curious: in which Pynchon book are D & G alluded to?> Possibly the most dreadfully phrased utterance ever posted on Chessgames.com. ("Curious: in which Pynchon book is the D & G allusion?" Or simply "Where does Pynchon make the D & G allusion?" Etc.) And to add insult to injury, in this case the problem's not a typo. Dec-14-07    achieve: <Bill> Would you please stop whining? We both know very well that you're a schmuck when it comes to writing in the English Language... Err... and thank you for stopping by at my place-- I left a note at yours sporting a somewhat friendlier tone. Arooo!! Dec-15-07    jessicafischerqueen: <will you please stop whining> Heh... <Niels v Bill III>: the "thrilla in Manila" Get your tickets now!! By the way if we're going to have a "whining contest" I want to play too!! Regards, JFQ Dec-15-07    mack: Afternoon chaps. Just come back from doing a heavy metal version of Figaro in the streets of Ireland. All for charity, of course. Some lunatic clearly wasn't in the festive spirit though, and lobbed a dagger at me. Dec-15-07    jessicafischerqueen: Hi <mack>! I nominated you for <best profile> in the prestigious <mannbee> awards. I also left you a new <Batchimeg at the Movies> in your forum Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 280 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
