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 893 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-02-14    Annie K.: Heh, thanks. :) Feb-03-14    Domdaniel: <Respect> ... ackshly, *respect* isn't sufficient ... the word I was searching for is 'awe' ... As John Wayne reputedly said in one of those Bible epic movies ... JW: "Shurely this man is the son of Gawd..." Director: "That's good, John, but could ya put more awe in your voice?" JW: "Aw, shurely this man is the son of gawd..." Feb-05-14    Annie K.: Aww some. ;) Been busy... I can has a new kitten, who has just been pronounced healthy after a couple of weeks struggle with pneumonia, which is very dangerous to young kittens according to vet. Any newts there? :) Feb-05-14    Domdaniel: Newts? Just a tadpole ... I may sign away my property later in the week ... they offered me money. And Morgan tells me that William Burroughs was born 100 yrs ago today. Not that you want to know... Feb-05-14    Annie K.: Right you are... ;p T'other thing is innaresting, though. :) Drop by chat sometime in the next days, k? Feb-06-14    chancho: <Dom> Thanks, I guess. :-) The idea of eventually passing <acirce> on the posting list is actually quite depressing, but I can take some solace at least in knowing that I'm way behind posters 3-2 and 1. I intend to slow down a bit and hopefully <someday> you can pass me by. :-)) Feb-06-14    Domdaniel: <Annie> Heh, thanks. I'm not *quite* a homeless person yet ... another couple of days should do it. I'll try to do the chat thing on Friday or Saturday... homelessness permitting. Feb-06-14    Annie K.: Heh... ok, I'll be around. :) A slug is sortof a shell-less snail... would you prefer to be called Slug? ;) Feb-06-14    Domdaniel: No, thank you. I'm slug-ophobic. Horrible creatures. Feb-06-14    Domdaniel: If you just want a creature that moves slowly, what's wrong with our friend the sloth? I think he even played chess. Feb-06-14    Domdaniel: This guy: Jorn Sloth Feb-06-14    Annie K.: Nice find! OK, nevermind that idea then. ;) Feb-06-14    Domdaniel: A Sloth win with the French: N Karker vs J Sloth, 1971 Feb-06-14    Domdaniel: "And my head is my only house, unless it rains". - Captain Beefheart. Been raining a lot recently, mind you. Feb-06-14    Annie K.: Heh. Good thing you're not going to be *ackshly* homeless then. :) Sloth? It's a Sin. Regards, The Pet Shop Boys Feb-08-14    perfidious: <Dom> Have again taken to playing occasional chess online, usually 15-20 minute games. Bizarre one from minutes ago: <hushpuckena-gelden 1.d4 e5 (Remember facing this once in a serious game, against a player ~1900 US) 2.dxe5 Nc6 3.Nf3 Qe7 4.Nc3 (So slender is my knowledge of this mess that Nc3 seemed strongest. At the CG database, the most common response is 4.Bf4, but I remember seeing some miniatures in my youth where White buys the farm after trying to hold the pawn thus) Nxe5 5.Bf4 (Not in the DB, and I am sceptical of this move, despite the speedy end) Nxf3+ 6.gxf3 d6 7.e3 h5 8.h4 Nh6 9.e4 g6 10.Nd5 Qd7 11.Nf6+ 1-0> Feb-08-14    Domdaniel: <perf> Very nice. These days, I miss those late-opening collapses, now that I only play club matches. Feb-09-14    waustad: With Alina L'ami at Bunratty there will probably be a chessbase article with lots of pictures. Feb-12-14    Domdaniel: <waustad> I guess so. I haven't played in Bunratty for the past few years, even though it's not far away and claims to be Ireland's leading weekend event. Feb-14-14    Annie K.: A good writer can tell moving stories... So, when are you moving, again? ;) xA Feb-15-14    waustad: As predicted: http://en.chessbase.com/post/chess-... Feb-15-14    Domdaniel: <A> ... and a moving writer can tell good stories. But I got no stories and am not a writer just now. It'll come back. Feb-15-14    Domdaniel: <waustad> An excellent prediction ... Alina seems to have gone native, as some visitors to the country feel compelled to do. Me, I don't even *like* Guinness. Feb-15-14    Annie K.: Hon, being a writer is a status, not an activity. You are a writer by dint of talent and accomplishment. It doesn't matter whether you are currently writing anything or not. :) Feb-16-14    Domdaniel: <A> That's nice. I think. ... therefore I write.
