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 858 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-09-13    waustad: So far it seems too much like Agatha Christie. That's not bad, but I've been reading Ford recently and find him almost as funny as Haiiason (sp?). How can you beat a title like "Who in Hell is Wanda Fuca?" Feb-09-13    waustad: JFQ may even still be in the area. Feb-11-13    waustad: After completing A Death in Summer I think that Black goes places Christie never would, but the 1960 time frame and rich folk made it feel that way. Feb-14-13    OhioChessFan: Oscar sprang out of bed. He finally put his foot down with his girlfriend. Why did the Blade Runner use a gun? He won't have a leg to stand on in court. Feb-14-13    mckmac: < Domdaniel > I hope things are going alright with you. < Corrections & Alterations & Additions Dept > Who knew?, derrierre has 4 arrrs. Unbelievable but true. Also, that one needs to read "... desperate worship of some other, blessed,..." : and there is also, ... "wild wanton night-tossed hair"... The title for "Of course you have a certain arrogance,"... is, "Come Outside And Say That To Me". Cheers, Matt Feb-17-13    mckmac: < Domdaniel & friends > On our local public radio station they have a very good program on weekday afternoons hosted by broadcasting legend Jim Mora. They regularly run a quiz called 'Link Three' whereby three songs are introduced and played and the listeners are asked to try and establish a link between them. I used to always tune in when I was working as a Housepainter, and I only rarely got the answer right. Can anyone get this one? It's not too obscure :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR3z... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk3m... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMxX... Feb-17-13    OhioChessFan: Oscar isn't going to get a lawyer. He'll hire a paralegal. Feb-17-13    OhioChessFan: <On the same day news broke that "blade runner" Oscar Pistorius was being charged with murder in the death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, Cleese tweeted: Oscar’s defence will be that he was absolutely legless at the time. — John Cleese (@JohnCleese) February 14, 2013> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/... Mar-01-13    waustad: It is Bunratty weekend coming up! Mar-01-13    Annie K.: BTW, to all concerned: try not to be. ;) I have it on fairly good authority that our friend is alive... although he would probably deny that. In fact, he *had* - <personally> - claimed otherwise, in a recent exchange. Therefore, all seems to be, more or less, well. :p Mar-02-13    Travis Bickle: Dom, who is it Batman or Superman? Come visit my forum to vote on The Batman or Superman Contest! ; P Mar-03-13    mckmac: < Domdaniel > Where are you mate? You do know that when the Ref takes the second half off there's bound to be a little bit off biff before the sun comes down? Just saying... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn01... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzcd... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1MW... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqkp... Only last week I met Dave Dobbyn for the first time. I was sitting just up from The Courthouse when he quite simply passed by me. I put down my cigarrette, called out "Mr Dobbyn" and scurried up and shook his hand. I told him I was a very big fan and that my favourite song was "Beside You". As Henry Miller once said "there's only the quick and the dead". Mar-07-13    Domdaniel: It's alive. Mar-07-13    Annie K.: Kewl! =) Mar-07-13    hms123: Eye saw some activity. And glad of it. Mar-07-13    Domdaniel: Yo, <A>. Hi, <H>. A moment, pls, or three, while I catch my breath. OK. Where was eye? Mar-07-13    Annie K.: Back online, apparently. Iz gud. :) Here's a LOL I made a couple of years ago, as a welcome-back gift - it's relevant to an anecdote you told me... you'll see. ;) http://cheezburger.com/2870762240 Mar-07-13    mckmac: Good to see you back Dom, this place is not the same without you, and speaking of cheese, this is almost 'The Fondue Set'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WSS... Mar-08-13    Domdaniel: <Annie> Aha, the Tale of the Scarfomorphic Feline. Mine was named either Sprog or Jennifer. The cat, not the scarf. Mar-08-13    Annie K.: Heh. Looks bloody cute, I don't think any of mine ever tried that. Although the considerably warmer climate may have something to do with the apparent regrettable lack of local Scarfomorphic Felines - evolution may not have favored this tendency at +30°C... ;s Mar-08-13    Domdaniel: Hmm. Now here's something mildly diverting... I thought I'd check out Bach on Youchoob, as interpreted by Glenn Gould ... http://youtu.be/UGPJDgp2-9A And who should turn up among the bitchy comments but an old CG acquaintance ... one Daniel 3.14159 ... who once said "Die, Old Man" to me. Clever, that. Mar-08-13    Annie K.: Yeah, the bitchily inclined do gravitate to YT, as they used to to Yahoo, and other such unmoderated "social" cesspools. It's a small world, innit. Too small, sometimes. Mar-08-13    hms123: <Dom> Have you read anything by <Gene Kerrigan>? I just got a copy of <The Rage>. Mar-19-13    Domdaniel: <H> I *know* Gene K ... nice guy, brilliant writer ... former cinema projectionist (hard-boiled) and journalist, writes a mean thriller. Mar-19-13    hms123: <Dom> I finished <The Rage> about a week ago and really enjoyed it. If I move to Ireland will I be able to write like he does? Bet not.
