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 544 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-24-09    Domdaniel: BTW ... due to computer glitches I'm unable to send or receive emails at the moment. So apologies to anyone here who might have tried to contact me by EMU recently. I hope to rectify this soon. I'd better, or I won't be able to work (yes, I'm expected to 'work' at this time of year) ... or even claim my Chessy T-shirt from CG. If all else fails, I'll grab a few minutes on somebody else's machine to catch up. Incidentally, my respect for CG has increased even further. This crappy old computer refuses to do all kinds of things -- yet this site works perfectly. They must have had idiots like me in mind when they built it ... Happy Christmas to my friends, and forgiveness to my enemies, whoever they are. Christ probably put that more succinctly. But, hey, isn't it the thought that counts? *My* thoughts count all the time ... the digits of pi, the ... ouch! Dec-24-09    OhioChessFan: Warn't it on your forum someone posted the link to the woman chanting the digits of pi? I am in the Christmas pi spirit and was looking for it as a nice background music as I rap presents. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Dec-24-09    Domdaniel: <Ohio> Yep. Here it is: http://pi.ytmnd.com/ Still seems to work, too. Luckily, I'm on an old computer where I had it bookmarked. Shall we begin, sir? [beat] Three point one four one five nine ... Dec-24-09    OhioChessFan: Let me find my accordion....... two six five three five eight nine....... Dec-25-09    Open Defence: Merry Christmas <Dom> !!!! Dec-25-09    minasina: I don't know if someone has answered: <I don't know the Finnish for 'fish'. Do you?> Anyway, 'fish' in Finnish is 'kala'. http://www.sanakirja.org/search.php... Dec-26-09    Domdaniel: <minasina> Thank you. 'Kala' is the first word of Finnish that I've learned, apart from a few in Kaurismaki films. Hmm. Does 'kala mari' mean 'fish of the sea'? Dec-26-09    Ziggurat: No, but nice try. Sea is "meri", and you have to flip the words around: "merikala" Dec-26-09    Domdaniel: <Zig> Finally I understand the title of <Leningrad Cowboys Go Merikala> ... Dec-27-09    jessicafischerqueen: There is no dark side of Finland. Matter of fact, it's all dark. Dec-27-09    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> as I affirmed, you still have teeth- as you covered yourself with glory in another famous puzzle solution! Here is another puzzle for you- ""Without fanfare, or the notice of his friends, the consul drank himself to death in the shadow of the Mexican volcano Popocatapetl" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF9a... (please play me in HQ mode) Dec-27-09    Domdaniel: <Jess> Thanks. I rather enjoyed the Cantina spin, especially as I haven't been able to play Youchoob for days - old comp, too lo-res. Andrew Sweeny seems to be a tad Irish for a French Canadian. Anyhow, he can come and roost in my tree anytime. The rains *will* come - most days. Innaresting, this Canadian mariachi music, just ignoring the lump of nordamerica in between. As in Gore Vidal's Duluth - which I read on Christmas day - where Mexican migrants, just a few miles from Tijuana, freeze to death in the icy alleyways of cold old Duluth. I'm a cold northern type by inclination, but Mexica has its attractions, like cheap drugs and human sacrifice. Dec-27-09    Red October: you are on probation for *ugh* LOLing... we are watching you! Dec-27-09    Domdaniel: *Oh* dear. Maybe it was an ironic meta-LOL? Do they count? Anyhow, Lolling in the Kib Cafe is like sneezing in a hospital -- you don't want to encourage it, but it happens anyway. Dec-27-09    Red October: <Dom> people are talking.. maybe you should consider red carpet appearances with ho's in train.... Dec-27-09    Domdaniel: Let 'em talk. Hic. Je suis Canadienne. And at this time of year the ho-ho-ho thing sounds like Bling Crosby. Dec-27-09    Red October: maybe some shades for the eye ? Dec-27-09    Domdaniel: I have just emerged from several years of shades for the eye. I can see clearly now ... Dec-27-09    Red October: so you know hues hue ? Dec-27-09    Domdaniel: and watts watt ... Dec-27-09    Red October: a big I Dec-27-09    Domdaniel: red sky at night ... with slammer and bickle ... Dec-27-09    OhioChessFan: <maybe you should consider red carpet appearances with ho's in train.... > Also known as The Tiger Railroad Dec-27-09    OhioChessFan: She's the one eye, one I love. Dec-27-09    achieve: The "All Seeing One"? Good grief; but I will not let it stop me from wishing you, Dom, a "handy" New Year. And to the visitors as well, of C'Horus.
