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 801 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-03-12    frogbert: i don't think i said there was a problem, did i? it doesn't mean people can't have views on it. :o) Feb-03-12    Domdaniel: What are they selling? T-shirts? Smart drugs? The King's Indian in a pill? Feb-03-12    Domdaniel: < Nobody is forced to buy anything if they don't want to.> Eh, food? Though I suppose it's *possible* to live out of other people's waste bins, it's perhaps healthier to exchange money for nutrients now and then. Not that my own food habit is what you'd call an oil burner, but I try to eat something most days. Feb-03-12    frogbert: <What are they selling?> "a hole in your pocket, if they found a way" Feb-03-12    Annie K.: <Dom> yes dear. The subject was akshly buying anything at the cg store. They don't sell food, although maybe I'd buy a few of those King's Indian pills... :p However, if you feel like nitpicking, ok, but food is not the best example? You are still not <forced> to buy it - you can start your own farm, or just go the hunter-gatherer route. Elementary education, or the protection of your country may have been better choices. ;) Feb-03-12    frogbert: annie k, you don't see any hypothetical conflicts of interest in 1) moderating a discussion forum, and 2) selling goods to those being moderated ? i have only good things to say about daniel's integrity, but i still see a potential problem related to 1) and 2) above. imagine that person X spends $5,000 in the cg.com shop <and> has a questionable practice with regards to the posting guidelines. i'd say that makes for some tough decision making ... Feb-03-12    frogbert: btw, is the dom-annie dictionary ("innaresting", "akshly", etc.) updated domannially? or only annually? Feb-03-12    Domdaniel: <frog> It's an equal opportunities dictionary. 'Innaresting' is mine, though borrowed from William Burroughs - who actually (sic) did talk like that. 'Ackshly' is one of Annie's, ackshly. Domannially/annually ... heh. You'll be saying next that I don't know my ain name from my domain name. Or vice, as it were, versa. Feb-03-12    Annie K.: Ya, but I decided to save on pixels and dropped the c... Now it's just akshly. ;) Feb-03-12    frogbert: <It's an equal opportunities dictionary.> well, as long as there aren't dom-annie opportunities to make changes, i guess that's fine. Feb-03-12    tpstar: <Domdaniel> Please review the site's Wikipedia entry from the link in my chessforum, and then please make any suggestions or improvements in my chessforum, because we are working on the Wikipedia project in my chessforum. Along with generously donating large sums of money, this is one of the many things we do to strengthen and preserve our site against the Bad People. That guy who was guilty of cyberstalking and cyberbullying (both very questionable practices with regards to the Posting Guidelines) won't dare act up with the whole group watching. Feb-03-12    Domdaniel: <tpstar> Will do, doc. I have a vague impression that, thus far, 2012 has been a tad more civil than 2011. But I'm probably missing all sorts of things, as usual. In an ideal world, your prescription for calm ("the whole group watching") would be a fine tonic. But I worry that the acter-uppers only feel shame when pressured by their own peer group, which doesn't necessarily coincide with *the* group. And I'm just an infidel anglophone white male mathematician and elitist art critic anyhow. Nobody listens to people like me, who would disavow moral authority even if it was personally handed to them by a deity. Stone tablets, your godship? Do I take all ten at once, with water? Eh, sorry. Not cool, cyberbullying. Not cool at all. We have spoken. So mote it be. Let it come down. Feb-03-12    Domdaniel: Hey, isn't it about time that somebody did an <Internet Encyclopedia of Chess> ... ? I'm an encyclopediast, you lot are chess players. Many of you know a thing or three, too. Get your people to contact my people and we'll greenlight it asap. Feb-04-12    frogbert: you are discussing "cyberbullying" and moral authorities with tpstar? innaresting. do you believe in concepts such as "good people" and "bad people", dom? in a conflict between "the good" and "the bad", can there ever be a question about who's right and who's wrong? it can't, can it? "the good" does good and "the bad" does bad. you know who you want to be, of course - the one with the power of definition; the moral authority if you like. and i agree with you. bullying is *not* cool. wysiwyg. Feb-04-12    dakgootje: <Get your people to contact my people > Are both people <hms123>? Feb-04-12    Domdaniel: <frog> - < do you believe in concepts such as "good people" and "bad people", dom?> No. <dak> - <Are both people <hms123>?> Yes. He's very good at playing both sides off against the law of the excluded middle. And he has good taste in books. Feb-06-12    frogbert: howdy, dom - just trashing by. :o) Feb-06-12    hms123: <Dom> <dak> My people are looking in the mirror and talking to themselves. Fortunately, they are discussing <Through the Looking Glass> so they will soon solve this conundrum. Feb-06-12    Annie K.: Negotiations will be held every other Thursday, I trust? :) Feb-06-12    achieve: <Feb-06-12 frogbert: howdy, dom - just trashing by. :o)> There seems to be going on much that does not meet "the eye" - or does there... Normal and widely acceptible behaviour resumed. Feb-06-12    frogbert: achieve, with a sufficiently vivid imagination, one doesn't need to be troubled too much by what actually goes on. :o) btw, i eventually noticed your questions of january 25th on my player page - and answered them. Feb-06-12    hms123: <Annie> Thursday? Yes, I am. Beer will be fine. Feb-06-12    Annie K.: There will be a fine, too? :( Feb-06-12    Domdaniel: Thursday? But this is Wembley. Feb-06-12    Annie K.: OK, ok, if you don't like <every other Thursday>, I'm sure stepping the pace up to <every other day> can be arranged... only, it might be more expensive by several times zero!
