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 72 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-11-07    boz: It's just okay <Open Defence>. See Leko-Yusupov Dortmund 1998. Feb-11-07    boz: My favourite Fischer story: I think this takes place on a beautiful morning somewhere in Greece. Bobby and another GM are stroling down a sunlit street on their way to the tournament hall. They stop at an orange juice stand and Bobby orders a large glass. The vendor pours. Bobby picks up the glass and drinks the juice down in one gulp. He sets the glass down. There's a pause. Bobby says, "I'll take that orange juice now please." The vendor looks confused. The GM friend intervenes, "Bobby, you just drank it." Fischer smiles and says, "I did?" Don't crucify me on the details. Just trying to recall something I heard a long time ago. Feb-11-07    Domdaniel: "If you stay with us you're gonna be pretty kooky, too" - David Bowie, Kooks. Me, I just wanna be A Bad Influence when I grow up. Badinage. If you're good when young you can be badinage... Feb-11-07    Domdaniel: Ballsbridge... <Does it span <Bollocks Brook>?> Actually it spans the River Dodder. Make of that what you will. I once thought there might be an opportunity in funny-name-tourism, seeing some friends gleefully taking photos of a sign for Dyke Parade. Feb-11-07    jessicafischerqueen: A special category for place names that CG.com won't allow on the site? Feb-11-07    Domdaniel: Okay, let's see. There's the fine town of Penistone, England. In Neal Stephenson's brilliant baroque-cyberpunk novel Quicksilver, King Charles II ennobles a Puritan as Baron Penistone so that he'll be mortified every time he signs his name... Feb-11-07    Domdaniel: Wordsworth has a fetish for the daffoDIL DOn't let this happen to you... Hmm. Feb-11-07    Domdaniel: This, er, blockage must be a recent tweak. I'm sure somebody pointed out in the past that anagrams of Domdaniel include IDLE NOMAD and MEAN DIL DO. Feb-11-07    Open Defence: LMAO ... all hail his royal meanness Feb-11-07    Domdaniel: The exploration of the unsayable goes on... the unspeakable in pursuit of the unpostable... Feb-11-07    hitman84: unpostable when posted and killed becomes unspotable. Feb-11-07    Domdaniel: Or unstop(p)able.. Feb-11-07    hitman84: Its not unstoppable believe me! Feb-11-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Hitman> you appear to be omnipresent yourself, mate. Where do YOU get the energy? Cmon. I fessed up about the <Methamphetamine>... Feb-11-07    hitman84: <Jess> <Where do YOU get the energy?> The rays from the moniter of my computer charges me up. I get Vitamin K(kibitz) Feb-11-07    Domdaniel: Ah, energy vampires. Do come in, have a bite, charge yourselves up... Feb-11-07    jessicafischerqueen: <dom> <bluenose message>: Reminds me of the time I asked a friend what the word <bluestocking> meant, and he said: "Imagine two middle aged ladies setting out for a bicycle tour of the Lake Country with hard-boiled eggs taped to the handlebars." Better than the dictionary definition, in my view... And, once again, your wordplay has befuddled the censors. You've still yet to top <acronym for Former United Kingdom>, however. It's my fave at any rate. Feb-11-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> quick question on fora protocol. When one wants to reply to a poster in one's forum, or thank them for dropping by, is it best to thank them in one's forum or travel to their forum? Nettiquette question. I've decided to become a <bluestocking>. Feb-12-07    hitman84: <acronym for Former United Kingdom> They used to play lot of Football back then so most Indians would agree. Feb-12-07    hitman84: I meant Football Club United Kingdom. Feb-12-07    Knightlord: There's a town in the north of Holland called Sexbierum. Bier means beer in Dutch. Not many people live there, probably because they drink lots of beer before having sex. Feb-12-07    Domdaniel: What can I say? The firkin question, for once, seems not to be rhetorical. "Without freedom of speech we'd all be in the swamp" as Mr Dylan put it. Can't see what swamps have to do with it myself, but have it your way, Bob... <Without freedom of speech we'd all be playing the Tromp> is more chessical and no less daft. And has the same rhyme. Where was I? Argument for silicon censorship, use of. It's clumsy, easily evaded, inconsistent, and invites gleeful experiments in the black art of transgression. And who exactly would be damaged and in what way by reading -- look away now -- the common name of the mechanical phallus? I agree that nasty tribal and racial epithets are best avoided. Perhaps D'ILDO has become one such? Then surely the tribe in question could respond with a surge of manly mechanical pride. Stand erect, boys. And the subject, eh, arose because of a reference to <teledild onics>, a branch of the virtual reality biz. You know the sort of thing, "I'd like three green-tinted Kylies and a laser printer with big bazoomkas, please". Sad, really. On the other hand, there are children listening, some of them under fifty. Forsakes Fuchs. Feb-12-07    Domdaniel: There's a village in Ireland called Effin. - Is this the Effin road? - Course it's the effin' road, what did yeh think it was, an effin' field? This leads to Effin road rage. Feb-12-07    Open Defence: are you sure you got a refund ? or was it store credit ? ;-p Feb-12-07    mack: This recalls IM Day's comments a while back (on a certain n-word favoured by Michael Richards): <it is just a word, a puffery, an 'articulation of breath' and hardly scary eh?> Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 72 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
