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 77 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: Oooooooooooooh Can a Da, Our home and native land, something something something, something something command!! Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: <Tomlinsky> My friend, you made it to Montreal. <Jess> seems to have had a moment of glory there once so you two should get on like houses afire... My previous list of great Canadians naturally included Leonard, whom I quote far too much anyway. But he's a great novelist as well as songwriter. Great Montreal novels: Beautiful Losers, Leonard Cohen The Main, Trevanian Heh. Feb-13-07    mack: 'I'll tell you why I hate Canada: half of you speak French, and the other half let them.' - Jerry Sadowitz, Montreal Comedy Festival, a few years back He was promptly knocked unconscious. Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> Twelve? I can pass for fourteen, I'll have you know... Feb-13-07    mack: Fourteen what? Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Mack> LOL BTW, please post any more games you are proud of in my new forum, if you'd care to. I'd love to see more of them. <Shropshire> put an interesting game in there a few days ago and got a lot of feedback... Chessica Fischer Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: A soupcon of Cohen... <And stop asking me questions nobody's gonna notice if I never write again except that incredible natural blonde over there that all the boys are fighting over them roses are dangerous> Or this: <the 15-year-old girls I wanted when I was 15 I have them now it is very pleasant it is never too late I advise you all to become rich and famous> Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: <Mack> 14 kilos. Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: <soupcon> added to list of Championship Round words. <Dom> you really gots to drag yeself to the video store and rent <Akelee and the Bee> I think you'd be all over it like a fat kid on cake... KK I'm off to buy smokes (oops what a giveaway-- disgusting habit) and git to work on me paper... Cheers all Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: PS do they have "video shops" in Ireland? Or is it all wood and verdant green? Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: Yikes! <verdant green> means "green green." Help! I'm redundant!! KK I'm really off now... Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> Video... shops...? Oh <those>. The house what I grew up in is now one, I think. Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: Unlike their colourless cousins, verdant green ideas sleep calmly. And dream of smaragdine islands with forty words for 'hello'. Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: Personally, I quite like English folk. All that bicycling through swarms of vespers and hard-boiled eggs... Pom Springs eternal. Anyway, nationalism is naff. Forum University College Kalamazoo will have none of it... away with these tribal anachronisms and god-bothering shibboleths. Oh dear, he's been at the Dawkins again. Hic. Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: Righto, then, as a (not so closet Anglophile), I'll ring in with a hearty <Poms Ahoy>!! (goes back to being a "quiet" non-nationalist Canadian) Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: Have you read the new <Dawkins> tome? Is it worth a peek? (has only read <The Shellfish Gene>) Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: <Chess MacBeth> aka <The Scotch> <To Moro, and to Morphy, and to Tal... With all those creeps who rule the royal game How must it seem when toilets rule the day And all our yesterdays are data banks Unkempt with blunders? Chess is a harsh mistress. She'll mate no more. [enter Silicon] - I'll mate, my lord. And Kram and Topa will be soon forgot.> Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: Scrutiny? Here? - Let it come down. Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: Re: <Shagspr> parody-- Now THAT'S worth publishing, in my mind... ROFL <Let it come down> That's the spirit, <Grand Piano>!! "uvula" test, test Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: First reaction to Dawkins's <The God Delusion> was "Brilliant! Every schoolroom on the planet should have one..." Second reaction: "Well, um, actually he's preaching to the converted here, and it's great fun to be reminded of the absurdity of belief... but neither science nor ridicule can soften the sclerotic god-ridden braincell..." (I might have thunk it more succinctly the first time, but I can't help adding words like 'sclerotic'...) Then I bought a 2nd copy on Dec 24th as an ironic Christmas present and found the bookshop was almost sold out. There's hope for the species yet. Which species, I'm not sure. Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: Hmmmmm... I fancy I'll have a go then. Quite liked the <Shellfish Gene>, didn't know half that stuff 'bout oysters and such. <Dom> there's a very good and yet curiously respectful "anti-religious" <Documentary Film> on rental now called <Scared Sacred>. I think it's top rate, myself. Feb-13-07    Eyal: Does anyone here know/likes books by Stephen Jay Gould? Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: <The Dom & Daniel School of Disembodied Film Poetics> has a theory. <Apocalypse Now> was so named because of the time Coppola spent giving directions like "Pucker lips now, Marlon". <Mistah Kurtz, he pierced with a diamond of light thru the head...> - Whatever, Marlon. Pucker again, please. No, no, cut, put that lady down, I said <pucker>... Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> LOL. And <Marlon> refused point blank when <Coppola> asked him to read a copy of <Heat of Darkness>... "Brando was lucid, though his mind was focused on itself with a terrifying intensity... but his soul was mad..." Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> very good, test! What did you think about my laborious <Bhudda> pun? Is it comprehensible to the Layman? Fireman? Frenchman?
