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

Jun-07-08    Open Defence: <nesspah> wasn't he the brother of Rabbi Chutzpah? Jun-08-08    Trigonometrist: <domdaniel> I'm a bit late on the reply..:) Yeah I have the same problem here.. I just can't find the right time to talk to anyone... Jun-08-08    Red October: < Trigonometrist: <domdaniel> I'm a bit late on the reply..:) Yeah I have the same problem here.. I just can't find the right time to talk to anyone...> in my case most keep quiet until I go away :) Jun-10-08    Domdaniel: <Red Deffi> But you never go away for long. Even producing a sprog didn't unduly throw you. Not to mention that, you know, Long March. And an even longer April. I'm never going to play chess again, btw. Not that I ever 'played' it before. How sweet to be an idiot, how sweet. I began the weekend tourney with 3/4. Which is also where I ended it, on 3/6. I don't like Sundays. Jun-11-08    Domdaniel: Did I explicitly say "right, time for a good long sulk"? Did I? I'll get over it. Jun-11-08    Red October: gotcha! Jun-12-08    Trigonometrist: <Red October> That is "quiet" annoying..:) Jun-12-08    twinlark: <Red> You've been trigged. Jun-12-08    Domdaniel: Speaking of which. The trigger fish, a warm water species not previously seen round here, is currently munching its way through the crabs and lobsters of south-west Ireland. I have it on good authority that if you wave your lit-up cellphone at a trigger fish, it ambles - no, it *moseys*, if you can mosey underwater - closer for a look. Trigger fish don't spook easily. Top o' the food chain, Ma. Jun-12-08    Harvestman: It's no good. I've tried and failed to come up with a witticism involving an itchy trigger fish. So I scratched that idea. Jun-13-08    Domdaniel: First catch your trigger fish. Extract six of its sharpest teeth (ask Mummy or Daddy to help you with this, especially if you like to see them lacerate themselves). When the teeth are dry, convert them into binary by 'throwing' them, and draw a little picture of broken and unbroken lines, like this. ______ ______ _ _ _ _ ______ _ _ _ _ ______ You now have an I-Ching Trigger Fish. No blame. Jun-13-08    twinlark: <Dom> I nominate you for <pun>itive cannonisation. Jun-13-08    Harvestman: "Cannonisation": Being placed into a cast-iron tube with a large bore. Sounds excessively harsh to me. Jun-13-08    Red October: not to mention a swab ramming gun powder down it Jun-13-08    Domdaniel: <"Cannonisation": Being placed into a cast-iron tube with a large bore.> Actually, a small bore is quite enough for me. Ectomorphs are the small arms projectiles of the cannon fodder community. I'd prefer Quantum Sainthood. Can I be patron saint of anagrams, or is that too pious? ... it has the *parson taint*. St Dom's Purview? Jun-13-08    Red October: you can be the Patron Stain Jun-13-08    Trigonometrist: I suppose all this <pun>ishment is my doing.. Any way I love the <pun>demonium here.. And btw is there really something called the <trigger> fish??.. Jun-13-08    Domdaniel: <Trig> - <is there really something called the <trigger> fish??..> Would I lie to you? Hmmmm. Unfortunately, I can't direct you to a trigger fish homepage ... I think I read about 'em in old media, or was it something I heard on the radio? Forgive me, the 'wireless'. Trigger fish have a Lusitanian habitat - found off Portugal, but spreading North to these not-so-chilly isles. And they eat lobsters, which dismays lobster fishermen. They also compose sonnets and have a strict code of honour. Insult a trigger fish's Grandma and you'll find yourself fighting a duel. They even have a glove-shaped fin for slapping you in the face with, prior to hostilities. I may have expanded on some of the finer details. Jun-13-08    Domdaniel: patron saint? a pants intro... satrap not in parson taint Anti-strap-on Parton stain. Nations trap I part no tans Not partisan. Jun-13-08    Domdaniel: <Cowboy Mermaid Pawn Shop Blues> This isn't thinking. My brain is shrinking. I must confess I can't play chess. Can't sing the blues But I can lose. For a fishy snigger I saddle Trigger. And I got no guns Apart from puns. Which won't catch fire. Go fight a lyre. Jun-13-08    Red October: <Anti-strap-on> ok I'm not askin' Jun-13-08    Red October: <a patron saint> can be <a top rant sin> Jun-13-08    Domdaniel: <Red> I know you're not askin', but anyhoo: <anti-strap-on> is to the 21st century as <antidisestablishmentarianism> was to the 19th.
