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 862 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-22-13    Domdaniel: Hey ho. According to today's London Times (in the Scrabble column), a "potzer" is a weak chess player. Who knew? Jun-22-13    Annie K.: We learn something every day. If only that whoever is responsible for that o has a bit of a spelling problem... ;s Jun-22-13    hms123: I am, unfortunately, reminded of the eternal question: <what's a potfer?> To cook in. Heh. Jun-22-13    Shams: <hms123> I wasn't aware there were clean versions of that joke. Jun-26-13    Domdaniel: "He doesn't have a pot to cook in". Hmm. That doesn't sound right... "He doesn't have a pot to make tea in". No, that's no better. "He doesn't have any pot to smoke". True, perhaps, but not what we're looking for. "He doesn't have a pot to plant flowers in". Nope. There must, surely, be something simple and natural that people do in pots? Jun-26-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: An addendum to the previous discussion about many pawns visiting one square :) G Kuzmin vs A Feoktistov, 2005 Eight pawns end their lives on d4. Lesson: avoid strategically important locations like the plague. Jun-28-13    Domdaniel: <Switch> Fascinating. The move 1.d4 seems to cast a magnetic hex on the square - a chessic strange attractor. Jun-28-13    Annie K.: How do you find these games?! Great comments. :D Jun-30-13    twinlark: Hi Dom. Thanks for dropping in. I know the people he named, so rest assured, there was no danger of any misunderstanding on my part on that score. I was trying to get through to him via a shared experience, but he seems to have moved on...and over the abyss, a bit like the joker cackling as he's falling off the tall building. He seems to have lost himself, and at his age (75 or thereabouts) that's no joke. isn't at any age, I guess. Rudd...yeah well. It's what comes next (code named the Mad Monk) that is going to hurt. Big time. Sorry about what happened to your house and stuff, especially the chess library...omg. Wish I could do more than offer my commiserations. Caio. Jun-30-13    Annie K.: <twinlark: <and at his age (75 or thereabouts)>> I'd take that "information" with a salt mine. :) <Dom: <I haven't personally interacted with this user>> You have, akshly... although he had a different name then. ;s Jun-30-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <twinlark: I was trying to get through to him via a shared experience, but he seems to have moved on...and over the abyss, a bit like the joker cackling as he's falling off the tall building. He seems to have lost himself, and at his age (75 or thereabouts) that's no joke. isn't at any age, I guess.> Akshly, this is more what he used to be like. He's been playing nice the last couple years but apparently finally got tired of being on a leash... that even his "nice" behavior was sufficient for a dozen or so bans is quite telling :) <Annie K.: How do you find these games?!> Special Santa skills :s Jul-01-13    twinlark: <subbus183> Message for you on my forum. Jul-01-13    Domdaniel: < till they get sick of all this nonsense and leave him alone > Solitary confinement. Good idea. Jul-01-13    Domdaniel: And now for something completely different... "He is one of those who thinks that friendships are strengthened by people seeing one another very infrequently. Anyway, he's not sure that friends exist, exactly. Javier himself usually says that there are no friends, only moments of friendship." - Enrique Vila-Matas, <Dublinesque>. Jul-01-13    whiteshark: <Human beings are chimpanzees who get crazy drunk on power.> - Kurt Vonnegut *power; in an anonymous 21st century interweb life one may num3er the enter key among it. Jul-01-13    twinlark: <Dom> Thanks for the kind words. I've Iggied him. Problem solved... Jul-01-13    Domdaniel: "If you have a feeding hand, you shouldn't bite into it." - A German proverb, allegedly. Jul-01-13    OhioChessFan: Great Goldsby! You are allowed to post on his player page? You are a good west egg. Jul-01-13    Annie K.: <Dom> in other news, Light and Empty Space arrived today. Nova Swing should be along presently too. :) Jul-01-13    Domdaniel: "Some humans ain't human, though they walk like we do/ They live and they breathe just to turn the old screw..." - John Prine: http://youtu.be/5rwYiBdoWHE Jul-01-13    Domdaniel: <Annie> Glad to hear it ... though my (slightly revised) opinion of the three books is this: Light is a masterpiece, Nova Swing is good but not quite on the same level, and Empty Space is brilliant, perplexing, almost depressing ... yet Harrison's verbal genius always shines through. Enjoy, if that's the appropriate imperative. Jul-01-13    Domdaniel: Note: I've had to throw out some trash. I don't like doing this, but some posters are just too dull, repetitive, logorrheic, vacuously garrulous, and a banal form of nuisance. Jul-01-13    Annie K.: <Dom> thanks. I'll wait with the third book until I can read the last two in order. Meanwhile, Let There Be Light. ;) Jul-01-13    Thanh Phan: Found another book, Memory Blank by John E. Stith, and a series Angel's Luck by Joe Clifford Faust. Both were pretty neat, weekend visits to the local used bookstores are worth it in my opinion Jul-01-13    ruk.an: < Domdaniel: Note: I've had to throw out some trash. I don't like doing this, but some posters are just too dull, repetitive, logorrheic, vacuously garrulous, and a banal form of nuisance.> all these adjectives are spot on for that poster - anyone could see that, even someone like me. however , i or anyone else did not say all this you did. why? now that is an important question - very important. were you aware of your motivation? that is tricky. many times people are not aware of their motivation for their actions. instincts and emotions create some impulse and humans act on those impulses as if they have no free will. free will is 'used' in the region of cerebral cortex whereas instincts and emotions are used in brain in the region.. oops... sorry . not everyone has brain for this kind of conversation . if you don't have brain for this conversation , it may appear vacuously garrulous, and a banal form of nuisance and such.. converse is not true , however...
