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 567 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-15-10    dakgootje: People always tell me I'm mature for my age Feb-15-10    Annie K.: You're several years too late to <introducing yourself> with that, dakkie. ;p Feb-15-10    Domdaniel: Why can't I be different and original like everyone else? Feb-15-10    Annie K.: Exactly - precisely - just so. :D Feb-16-10    twinlark: The pinnacle achievement of the 21st century schizoid man: to be average in every way. Feb-16-10    whiteshark: kind of mean Feb-16-10    Annie K.: Please elaborate - what is, and how so? Feb-16-10    tpstar: I think it's a play on words: "mean" meaning average, and "mean" meaning mean. :-) Feb-16-10    Annie K.: ah - that would work. :) Feb-16-10    OhioChessFan: <lark: Or maybe because the Saxons systematically obliterated rather than conquered the natives, their works and their language.> The Saxons knew all the Anglos. Feb-16-10    OhioChessFan: <Anyhow, I'd best tell the *other* bridge joke now, and get it over with.> You think that was a bad bridge joke? Ha! Try this on for size. Lady Portly: "Dear, what on earth did you have to open One No Trump?" Sir Henry: "One jack, two queens, and three martinis." Feb-17-10    Domdaniel: So there we were in a chess website, compiling the Little Book of Bridge Jokes. As you do. The joys of suburbia in the temperate zone of an oxygen planet. "I was living in one room in the Scrabble district, making typewriter noises to persuade the landlord that I was a writer. I was not a writer ..." Feb-17-10    twinlark: <Ohio>: <The Saxons knew all the Anglos.> Aka drinking buddies that went on bender that lasted till 1066. Feb-18-10    Domdaniel: <Jess> - <the ancient attempt to discover what difference existed between “a herring and a half, and a scuttle of coals> Very similar, as both are the remnants of carbon-based life forms. Also herring are caught from fishing boats, which can be scuttled (or converted into coal-boats, not necessarily the same thing). Both also burn well, when dry. The difference? Well, *scuttlebutt* ('gossip' in America) is not at all like *herringbutt* (a Danish delicacy; elsewhere, a sure sign that a person is a mermaid). But herringbone and cuttlebone may be confused, especially if you're hard of herring. Feb-18-10    crawfb5: Nabokov's chess sonnets: http://www.chesscafe.com/skittles/s... Feb-18-10    Domdaniel: Sonnets, eh? I like that one by Shelley, where it says "My name is Garikasparoff, King of Kings, look on my fianchetto, and despair" ... and then nothing beside remains. Poignant, with a dash of anti-tyranny. Feb-18-10    OhioChessFan: While playing bridge with Hannibal Lector, In horror I told the Director, "My partner's being ate, Off the bone, not the plate!", But the laws of Bridge couldn't protect her.

I've heard there are people so well organized that they check their mail on a daily basis, and even reply to it. It seems scarcely credible, though. They're probably machines in carbon drag. Feb-19-10    Open Defence: I check all 6 email accounts on an hourly basis... and reply to mails that need it, I also put my mails into neatly organized folders.... can I have a drag of the carbon now ?
