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 289 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-02-08    mack: P.S. Our favourite tree-hugging hypermodernist - Lawrence 'Live for the' Day - has gone into depth about the Suttles tomes over yonder: Duncan Suttles I'm truly, madly, terribly excited. I've never quite figured out how big a Suttles fan you were - are Rats French enough for you? P.P.S. - Before I forget, is there a chance that some time soon I could get you to regurgitate and embellish that great story about pistols at dawn with Richard Ingrams' dad? For, like, research purposes? Jan-02-08    mack: <whadda> Humph. Jan-02-08    achieve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otmN... Well, musically Bowie could not get any better than this... and that was probably wasn't even to be called "original" anymore, I'm not sure... He sure paved the way, it seems, for Sting and Prince's Jazz-Rock, just to name a few... But I can't really compare with Dylan's work and where it's "coming from" -- However I do wish I was more knowledgeable on that, but was born a decade at least after you, and went for the Jazz-classical thing, mostly -- So where do Bob's periods really come from? (I have a feeling this has to do with lyrics and poetry...) Jan-02-08    Domdaniel: <Jess> - <a bunch of Frenchmen without warm clothes> Tahiti, I'd have thought. Or Bougainville. Then I understood: a bunch of Frenchmen *somewhere cold* without warm clothes. A very Canadian POV, if one may say so. And up inevitably gurgles my Quebec limerick: There was a young girl in Quebec Who was buried in snow to her neck They asked "are you friz?" And she said "Yeah, I is, But we don't call this cold in Quebec." Jan-02-08    Domdaniel: <mack> Apparently the great David Bronstein once nominated Harry Golombek for World Champion Chess Writer. And Fred Reinfeld for world champion blitz chess writer. According to the notoriously unreliable and formerly bearded Stu Reuben, that is. Jan-02-08    mack: <Quebec limerick> Good to see you're following the old Edward Lear rhyme scheme: AABBA (The 'B' is for bollocks; the third 'A' is the same as the first one.) Jan-02-08    Domdaniel: <mack> The Ingrams father-in-law, actually, but maybe your version plays better. I'll prepare some embellishments. I may even procure a copy of Zilch #5, the reason I was trying to shoot a fotonovel on Sandymount Strand before dawn. The dog, I recall, was named Pigeon. Jan-02-08    achieve: One more thing on the timeless music from the British Isles in the <Golden Era> by Bowie, Queen, U2, Sting, and the Aussie super bands like INXS (with Michael Hutchince - RIP) and the list is decisively longer... God, I could drown in that music for an indefinite amount of time - BLESSED to have witnessed it... WHOOAAH <mack> They finally have started to "send out" Kwak into the ether again... All I have to do now is find out the friggin' times and sit my butt down behind the telly. G'nite all. Jan-02-08    achieve: OK -- one last tribute to top bands from Down Under, like AC/DC and Crowded House... And the summit of powers of expression and depth of message- and performance, found in timeless artists like Olivia Newton-John and Kylie Minogue!! To not mention them would surely be a travesty, no? ♘ Jan-02-08    achieve: corr. *Michael Hutchence* (Arggh) Jan-03-08    Domdaniel: <AABBA> So much for the great Edward Lear Whose limericks are, frankly, queer According to mack The structure is kack So much for the great Edward Lear. Jan-03-08    jessicafischerqueen: <AABBA>, of course, comes from the same country that engineered the <VULVA>, one of the finest automobiles ever built. Jan-03-08    jessicafischerqueen: Acupulco! Arriba! Jan-03-08    mack: <one of the finest automobiles ever built> Haven't seen one of these things for a long old time. Are they as run-down & rusty as I remember? Jan-03-08    jessicafischerqueen: Heh... <Benny Hill in drag-- thinking he's just been asked how "her" house is when in fact the interviewer has asked how her mother is holding up>: "Oh, you wouldn't recognize the old place... they've had the builders round and..." Jan-03-08    Domdaniel: "Vulva?" Har du et hus? Jan-03-08    Open Defence: <<AABBA> So much for the great Edward Lear Whose limericks are, frankly, queer According to mack The structure is kack So much for the great Edward Lear.> do you realise you just did a SWATS analysis ? Jan-03-08    Domdaniel: <Deffi> No, there's something I did not know. Amazing, isn't it? And a SWATS analysis is ... ? Jan-03-08    Open Defence: the first letter of the lines of your lemmonarick Jan-03-08    Domdaniel: SWATS ... hmm ... Snapped While Attempting The Splits ... Swearing Waspishly At The Strawbs ... Sealed With A Tremendous Shag ... Short, Wet and Thoroughly Satisfying ... Oh dear. Jan-03-08    Open Defence: <Short, Wet and Thoroughly Satisfying ...> now you got me wanting a Vodka Jan-03-08    Domdaniel: <Deffi> Ah. Thanks. What *else* is a SWATS analysis, or should I just look it up? Jan-03-08    Open Defence: Smileys With Angry Thoughts Showing Jan-03-08    Domdaniel: <Smileys With Angry Thoughts Showing> Oh, that's me all right, even though I don't do smileys. Some people say I'm passive-aggressive, but I think that's just a side-effect of the French Defence. Anyway, Deffi, even if I had an 'angry thought' (and I don't, much) I would *never* be so ungentlemanly as to display it in your presence. This is the Hannibal Lecter school of good manners. As Leonard Cohen said, we must study etiquette before we study magic. Chess is etiquette and magic mixed in the right proportions. And now: a once-only <Domoticon>: #8>=| I don't think he looks angry, does he? Jan-03-08    Domdaniel: <mack> -- <are Rats French enough for you?> Well, I was *aware* of Suttles a long time ago, and I used to pounce on his games whenever I found one in the chess magazine things they had in those days. Which wasn't terribly often, I suppose. And you're right: I was far too devoted to the French to ever attempt a Rat myself, although I used to venture an occasional Pirc. And with White I even knocked over a couple of 2200+ players with stuff like 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.b3 g6 3.Bb2 Bg7 4.g4!? But the Suttlesian spirit isn't just an Openings thing, right? You have to somehow continue the knife-edge lunacy into the middlegame and beyond. Have I done that? No, and I tended to get crushed when I tried. The moral is <Don't experiment before you can walk> but I refuse to believe it. Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 289 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
