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 284 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-23-07    mack: <Despite never doing anything more physically demanding than playing chess, I seem to have ripped a muscle in my back. So I'm being terse, between groans.> Gosh, we're very similar people. I've actually taken to using a @#$%ing walking stick when taking the dog out recently, something I really shouldn't have to do for many a year yet. Seems like emotional and calcic maturity are directly proportionate. Dec-23-07    Domdaniel: <mack> Yeah, I think walking sticks are cool, and they don't even need to have swords hidden inside. So far, though, I've just hobbled elegantly around at home with one ("Hey, I'm the Missing Limp") ... haven't actually gone public yet. "With his bodyguard and silver cane and every hair in place ..." Hmm. Canes signify evil in the Dylan universe: William Zanzinger, Big Jim, etc. Must be his revenge for being named after a Zimmer frame. Dec-23-07    mack: <Zimmer frame> Oh deeeear. I can think of two other Dylan canes: 'Your grandpa's cane/turns into a sword Your grandma prays to pictures (?)/pasted on the board.' Then there's the other one which kills Hattie Carroll. Guess you're right, clearly Bob has pent-up cane anguish. Cane in the arse? Growing canes? Pff. Dec-23-07    mack: <William Zanzinger> Oops, missed that. Dec-23-07    mack: P.S. Have you seen 'I'm Not There' yet? Dec-23-07    whiteshark: <Frogspawn> was Hans Kmoch 's term meaning the vertical distance between a pawn and the forward edge of the board. :D Dec-23-07    Domdaniel: <mack> - <Oops, missed that.> Are you one of those dualists who claim it was two guys, Williams and Zinger, wot done it? <I'm Not There> No, not yet. Like my favorite superhero, The Not There Kid: "The Not There Kid was *not there*." Dec-23-07    Domdaniel: <Hai> ... and the guy in Bondi Beach who claimed to have biffed a white shark on the snout was not telling the truth. He got the scratches falling into a thorn bush, or something. The world is full of chancers, con-artists, voleurs, voleuses and plagiarists like me. Even a chap's Lieblingszug isn't safe round here. Actually, I stole 'Frogspawn' from Bill Hartston's book 'How to Cheat at Chess'. Dec-23-07    mack: Thought for the day: Do we think it's likely that within a few years the suffix '-gate' will have been used so often to denote a scandal of some sort that the original Watergate balls up will be referred to as 'Hotelgate' or 'Nixongate' or somesuch? Or am I just going mad? Dec-23-07    JoeWms: A <stentorian> is a cardiologist who shoves stents up your arteries. An <analist> is a proctologist who ... Dec-23-07    Domdaniel: <mack> I dunno. But I have been waiting a very long time for the current Irish finance minister, Brian Cowan, to do something scandalous. Then we can have Cowangate. Dec-23-07    Domdaniel: <Joe> An analist is a proctologist who keeps his fingers flexed by pushing chess pieces around. Or so it seems, judging by the frequency with which analists turn up around here. *2nd attempt* Universities, colleges etc sometimes have presidents. Some have a Provost. Others have a proctor or a rector. These employ a proctologist to keep tabs on the proctor, and an analist to do likewise for the rector. Dec-23-07    whiteshark: <Dom> There you have me! Speed reading and typing need coordination and carefullness. Lacking both. So it was <frontspawn> if all works well here at the moment. This way, oh happy day ! Dec-24-07    jessicafischerqueen: Mery Crishsmas <Dom>!!! Dec-24-07    Open Defence: Merry Hiccmus Domo!! Dec-24-07    Domdaniel: Cheeersh, Jeff'n'Dessi ... have a K-Euwe-l Euwel... Dec-24-07    achieve: <Dom> !!! Behave yourself! Many Bloody Klismas!! (Kolean accent) Dec-24-07    Domdaniel: <Niels> Indeed I will be having myself, because who else would have me? So *that's* how they speak on the Kola peninsula ... Have fun. Dec-24-07    achieve: heh Cheers Major... Let's blast into 2008! Dec-24-07    WBP: Hey <Dom> Feliz navidad. 2008: The Year of <Frogspawn II: The Sprite's Revenge> Dec-25-07    brankat: Best wishes for the Holiday season my friend. May You and Your family have a great New Year! Dec-25-07    JoeWms: 6:30 Christmas morning in County Cork. Wake up, Dom, and hear those Christmas belles. They want you to take them home now. Dec-25-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Special <<<<Frogspawn Krismus Editorial>>>>: "KKK" or, "Korean Kultural Kuriosities" Well, since the school saw fit to hold final exams two weeks PRIOR to the last day of classes, the students know full well they don't have to do anything and are in open revolt. In the past week, this curious state of affairs has engendered the following tableux, reminiscent of scenes from <Bridge on the River Kwai>: Long lines of students on their knees holding chairs over their heads for hours. A full grown man repeatedly striking a student full force in the shoulder. Lines of students lying on their bellies in the hallways writing essays in Korean about how wrong their attitudes are. A 200 pound High School Senior walking in to my class in the middle of a lesson, with a drink in his hand, going up to a friend and starting a conversation. Followed by me grabbing him by the srcuff of his jacket and physcially dragging him out in the hallway and theatening to throw him out the window if he didn't (quote) "get on your knees". Sigh. And here's the best part-- the next day, or even later in the same day, you can see these same students laughing and joking with the same teachers who treated them as if they were slave workers on the <Burmese Railroad>. Am I losing my mind? Well, "forget about it Jess- It's Chinatown." Jessica Simpson Frogspawn Cultural Relativism Dept. Special Can't Believe her Eyes Flying Squad> Dec-25-07    Domdaniel: "Hey, teacher, leave those 900-pound hulking brutes alone ..." <Jess> Can I have the movie rights? We can call it <Jessy the Sampire Weigher>. Poor li'l orphan kid has to pick and weigh sampires on her wicked stepfather's Korean sampire farm, and then they all sing songs and run away from the Nazis, who get eaten by chess-playing demons ... A hit recipe. Apart from the chess. Happy Zoroastermas. And I haven't said "bah humbug" even *once* yet. Dec-25-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> I'm in! All I want is a 200,000 dollar guarantee and 23% of the rights after the commencement of principal photography. I think we should include a scene detailing <festivus feats of strength> as well.
