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 868 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Sep-18-13    dakgootje: Thanks - that's quite relevating :) I suppose there are multiple agents possible in a single sentence? Say a dog kisses a queen and a pig - would that be something like canem osculat regina et porca*? *Pardon my potential pig-latin :) Sep-18-13    Domdaniel: < canem osculat regina et porca> is "the queen and the pig kiss the dog", a very different class of inter-species relationship. Sep-18-13    Domdaniel: <memethecat> -- welcome back - <it can be pretty funny when you've not been here for a while, like taking the lid of off a noisy box.> - yeah, I guess so ... though I was inactive for a coupla months myself, so don't think that this stuff just goes on and on. Since I got back, however, it's been busy ... stay in touch ... Sep-18-13    dakgootje: Oh.. heh, I keep messing up who is doing what. Sep-19-13    Domdaniel: Speakina <noisy boxes>, I heard somebody on the radio talk about "putting the boot into Pandora's box". Sounds nasty, whatever it is. Sep-19-13    Domdaniel: Mmm, fascinating stuff, this ... from Winter's series of Mondo exposes ... < In a posting dated 3 October 2004 somebody using the pseudonym “Offramp” asserted that the words quoted above (completed with “I will knock Kramnik senseless. He is going down in game five. And he is going down HARD!”) had been spoken by Leko during a press conference after game 4.> -- http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... Sep-19-13    Annie K.: Heh - yeah, that little beauty has been framed and hung on the wall in <Switch>'s profile for ages. :) Sep-19-13    Domdaniel: <Annie> Thanks ... but (very) amateur historians (like moi) have to start digging in history *somewhere* ... no umbrage, natch ... Sep-19-13    Domdaniel: A theory: the apparent increase in controversial utterances by me in recent days can be explained by the schedule of the Sinquefield cup in St Louis; the live games in this event tended to start at about 7pm, my time -- thus I was joining in the kibitzing here in the evening, when I perhaps had already got a glass (or two) of vino on board, and was inclined to be more controversial. So it goes. Most live games occur too early in the day for me. But in St Louis I was able to get a head start, as it were ... Sep-19-13    Annie K.: Oh noes, cut down on the vino plz. Heheh - that quote's being a bit of comedy is obvious in so many ways... for one thing the sports references, then "Sammy" is not a Hungarian nickname (a version of the name Samuel exists, but its nickname form isn't Sammy), but the most obvious one still being that the terminally polite Leko would never say something like that, and least of all about a player with whom he shares a manager (or at least did at the time of that match)! Somebody desperately needs a humor detector. :s Sep-19-13    Domdaniel: <A> - < cut down on the vino plz> Must I? I'm starting to like it, yanno ... Sep-19-13    Annie K.: Yes plz... you need more healthy hobbies. :) I suppose chess history research will do, although I've seen what an excess of that can too to people too, and... ;s Sep-19-13    OhioChessFan: Vino before, and there'll vino gaz. Sep-20-13    Domdaniel: In vino vomitas, as the Romans said. Latin for "You vomit and I'll sing it..." Sic. Sep-20-13    OhioChessFan: I thought your avatar would be raining tears after being told you weren't the LifeMaster's favorite person. Sep-20-13    Scolarahip Memes: <Yes plz... you need more healthy hobbies. :) I suppose chess history research will do, although I've seen what an excess of that can too to people too, and...> Hey! I heard that! Good thing I have such big ears eh? Ok folks if you want to play, submissions are welcome. You can post any you find in my forum or in <JFQ> forum. <Rulz>: The meme must be "found" on site. It can be an unusual word that's been repeated by more than one user in an unusual context as a joke, such as "snippet." It can be any typo. It can be spelled wrong any or syntax strange. Quoits may be rearranged and shortened so long as the original meaning and sense is not violated. MOST IMPORTANT FOR SUBMISSIONS- please link the place where you found it so our cracked team can go in to check. Sep-20-13    Scolarahip Memes: <Dom> To answer your kind queries: <Now that phone boxes are almost extinct, where do you superhero types change costume?> I didn't have a costume to change into until I got this cat here. It's actually a "composite cat" that's been carefully created (now with pixils!) out of every single photo of every single cat picture that's ever been linked in <Annie's> forum. <Is Susan P the <West Pole>?> I didn't understand the question, but that certainly won't prevent me from answering it with a gread air of certainty, gusting up to smugness. I should think Johannes Zukertort would be a better fit to be called "The West Pole"? If you look at this handy GIGANTIC map of Poland here- https://maps.google.com/maps?q=pola... -you'll see that while <Grandmaser Sugar Cake> was born in Lublin (east Poland) he later moved to Wrocław (west Poland). This is undoubtedly the origin of the oft qoited saw "Go West, young Pole" Sep-20-13    Scolarahip Memes: Oh forgot to mention. No memes will be attributed in the Profile, so once they're up there it'll be anybody's guess who unwittingly created it for us. No letters please. Or lawsuits. Sep-21-13    Domdaniel: <Scolarahip> Heh, I like your, eh, cat. With those ears, it looks like it has "lynx" to innaresting sites... Sep-21-13    Domdaniel: <Jess> I think it was Daniel Dennett who wrote about the "West Pole" school of cognitive science. What did I mean by linking La Polgar to this? Um, not sure. Some kind of obscure joke, prolly. Hey, I can't be expected to recall all my obscurantisticities... Sep-21-13    Domdaniel: <Ohio> The tears may be invisible, but they're real... Sep-21-13    Annie K.: <Jess> heh. I've seen way too many examples to list. Also, your sock drawers are taking up an entire wing of my favorites closet. You gotta stop that! ;s <Dom> Hmm, dunno which part of Canada the third Polar bint - Sofia (Polar, Zsofia) resides in, so she may be Wester than Susan (Polar, Zsuzsa)... there's three of'em, anyway, which tends to complicate the polarity. *Crack* - OWW! (Krakow, Poland) - By the power cardiganned in me... I now pronounce you... Man and Foot. Sep-21-13    Domdaniel: <A> It seems that Zsofia has done that aliyah thang, and is now down the road from you, in Tel Aviv (or thereabouts). She was formerly domiciled in Toronto (or Trawna) which isn't quite as far west as her sister. So the <West Pole> is still the <American Polgar>. And the South Pole is Najdorf. Dunno who the North might be ... Sep-21-13    Annie K.: Oh, she's back here again? Good thing I get these updates from IRL... ;s North Pole, prolly Santasiere. :) Sep-21-13    Domdaniel: Santa. Ouch.
