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

Frogspawn: Levity's Rainbow

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 78 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: <Eyal> A Gould fan reporting for duty. Both Glenn G and Stephen Jay G. I like him because - in a different key, and all that - I tend to think in the same way. Not scientifically, but storing up strange juxtapositions until they have their day out together. He was more lucid than I'll ever be, of course. I just think I understand the method. btw, my brother followed the trail to this website and said to me: "I think this Eyal is smarter than you"... Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: <Shellfish> So Lewis Carroll was right -- the Dawkins/Darwin/Xtian question really is a debate between a Walrus and a Carpenter, eating Oysters. The time has come, the Walrus said To speak of many things: Of shoes and ships and sealing-wax And cabbages and kings And why the sea is boiling hot And whether pigs have wings. Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: <smarter than you> I think both of you are exceedingly well-dressed myself. Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: Sid, are tha still in t'bath? - Aye, lass, laughed heartily at tha pun, I did. Think you're shocking the natives, though. Fine work, Doctor. Scrupulous scientific method. You can have the Clinical Philology Dept, if you like. "There's no bad language, only dirty speakers..." Feb-13-07    Eyal: <smarter than you> Well, I'm speechless... Feb-13-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> Can a pun ever be laborious? Did we fight the Punic Wars for this? <Delenda est Winnebago> Speaking of movies, you'll recall that the notoriously tall Tom Cruise starred in The Last Samurai. Well, ah, in the sequel he plays a <Sawn-off Shogun>. [and on that note... er, anyone know how to say g'night in Volapuk? Klingon? Romulan? Aha.] Noctibonio, then. Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: LOL <Cruise pun> I have to admit I actually love this man in <The Colour of Money> and <The Last Samurai>... A guilty pleasure perhaps... I even enjoyed him in Cubed Brick's last film <Eyals Wide Shut>, I think? Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: And G'night <Sanjak of Novi Bazaar> Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: And, to go with your morning coffee, perhaps, a quote from the notoriously misunderstood <Marshall Mathers III>: "I'll shoot ya with a sawed off and then beat ya with the piece that was sawed off..." Feb-13-07    Eyal: <Eyes Wide Shut> Er, I have to say that what I liked the most in this movie was its title - and not from the reason you seem to believe... Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Eyal> jeez yer up late, sir... I like the oxymoronic title too, and for me <Kubrik> can do no wrong. I have seen all of his films and enjoyed each one to the last drop. Including his so-called "poor" films such as <Barry Lyndon>, <The Shining>, and the <Film Under Current Scrutiny>. In fact, I think <Barry Lyndon> is vastly underrated by critics, if only for having survived <Ryan O'Neal>... Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: I know this is one of yesterday's topics, but with regard to <Marsupial Advocates, literary or otherwise>: What about the perhaps unjustly ignored <Monotreme>? Imagine having to bear the stigma of being a so-called "primitive mammal" and having only one <treme>? Huh? Huh? Feb-13-07    twinlark: To rub insult to injury, not only do you have only one treme, if you were a platypus you'd be the victim of an indeterminate and highly sus plural. Feb-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: "Whither the <Echidna>?" An Opera in 5000 parts. Libretto available at: http://monotreme-music/asp.9BC.net (If the link doesn't work on your computer, it means that <MI-5> is monitoring you and you should immediately shut off all of your electricity for an indefinite period of time) The editors <Monotreme Music Magazine> 1234 Wallaby's Balls Sheep Station Feb-14-07    twinlark: To be echidna or not to be echidna...the link doesn't work. I'll take a dive and hide from MI-5 in the echidna's pouch, echidna not. ouch. Feb-14-07    jessicafischerqueen: Yes, <Monsieur Chien Du Goggles>, I made up the hyperlink- Hence the warning note unless anyone tears apart their Computer trying to get to the link. Mrs. Spiny Anteater Christchurch Cathedral, Christchurch, New Zealand. Feb-14-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> I keep missing subtleties in your posts. LOL In honor of your <Gould> post: <I.. see... no method... at all> Jessica Coppola/Conrad Feb-14-07    Domdaniel: Subtleties in my posts? Well, I certainly didn't put 'em there, yer maj. Although it's true that us royal courtier types have to be schooled in the devious art of crypto... Which is why mp3 are tapping my phone and I'm wanted by Interflora in six countries. Ah-HA, a lateral flash. A song for today: it's got to be John Otway and his only good song: <Beware of the Flowers cos I'm Sure They're Gonna Get You, Yeah> Feb-14-07    Domdaniel: Why is everything hung with cardioid meat pumps? Does the spiny anteater scoff spiny ants by the column inch? --so many questions-- Feb-14-07    hitman84: Hi <Domdaniel> <Creation>Thanks for the heads up. Here is a chess quote.. “The chessboard is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the Universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature and the player on the other side is hidden from us” - Thomas Huxley Feb-14-07    Domdaniel: <Hitman> Thank you. I suspect Huxley would have liked chess engines: then he could have followed his own logic all the way and said there was actually no need for a 'player' on the other side of the board, just the laws of physics and logic, grinding away... Feb-14-07    hitman84: <Domdaniel> <I suspect Huxley would have liked chess engines: then he could have followed his own logic all the way and said there was actually no need for a 'player' on the other side of the board, just the laws of physics and logic, grinding away...> I dissected some of the engines to know their intrinsic logical features and was surprised to find out that geeks with the help of GMs had coded all the fundamental chess rules. The laws of Physics and logic encapsulates the fundamental chess rules in an engine. <the player on the other side is hidden from us>Actually he meant the actual player(engine) is hidden from us. Feb-14-07    jessicafischerqueen: <grinding away> Finally, an appropriate phrase suitable for <Valens> <Time> <Day> Feb-14-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> There actually *was* a Saint Buddha, btw, due to an administrative cockup in the Vatican. Round about 700 AD a modified version of the tale of Gautama - with good Euro virtues like renouncing sin - showed up in Rome, and the Pope of the day said "Admirable, make him a Saint!" A few centuries later they realized their mistake. So Borges says, anyhow... Feb-14-07    Domdaniel: <Hitman> I only meant that Huxley's reference to the 'other player' is ambiguous enough to let him and his 19th century readers imagine a God over there. But an inexorable chess engine - a mechanical contrivance - a Laplacian Demon - is very different. It was Laplace who was asked by Napoleon why there was no mention of God in his book on the mechanics of the solar system, and replied 'Sire, I had no need of that hypothesis'.
