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 896 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-06-14    Thanh Phan: We have been talking some about the differences in languages, and Hânh revealed an interesting conflict, she has had no problems with German, Russian or Chinese, she has a fear of being Americanized or losing her Việt identity, and has asked me to attempt to express her thought here That might be one of her main language blocks with learning English May-07-14    Annie K.: <Dom> Happy Birthday, sweet! :) <Thanh> that's a very good insight. :) Please tell your sister that we all change in all sorts of ways in the course of our lives, as we gain experiences and understanding, but more knowledge to go on in deciding in what ways she wants to change, and what to retain of her earlier self, is never a bad thing, and these decisions will always be up to her. She need not be afraid of changing in ways that she won't want to. May-07-14    Domdaniel: <Thanh> Perhaps because America is so culturally dominant, many of us who aren't American sometimes worry about being Americanized. But I think that if the original identity -- Viet, Irish, whatever -- is reasonably secure, then there should be no fear of it being submerged. Paradoxically, those who worry about losing their identity are often the most secure. People who never worry about such things often shed their original identity without a thought. May-07-14    Domdaniel: <Annie> Ta. Another year younger. May-07-14    Domdaniel: <Deffi> Yes, Eye do that. May-07-14    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Domdaniel> Happy birthday! May-07-14    Domdaniel: <Mating Net> "You talkin' to me?" ... as DeNiro said in an earlier movie... May-07-14    Domdaniel: <Switch> Thanks ... um, does Santa do birthday presents? May-07-14    SwitchingQuylthulg: Mostly for people born on December 24. They aren't the lucky ones, mind :s May-07-14    Domdaniel: <Annie> -- < these decisions will always be up to her.> In North America and most of Europe, yes, I agree. But there are still far too many countries in Asia and Africa (etc.) where a woman is not free to decide when and how to change. Which is, of course, deplorable and greatly regrettable. May-07-14    Annie K.: Indeed, although also completely irrelevant to the issue at hand... :) Are you doing anything novel, daring and reckless to celebrate your birthday? Such as trying out Emrald, or playing chess online? ;) May-07-14    Alien Math: Happy Birthday <Domdaniel>! Thank you <Domdaniel> and <Annie K.> appears I collect much to think about, interest to note several problems with English are mine own limits from worry May-08-14    Thanh Phan: Happy Birthday <Domdaniel>! Hope you have a good day! May-08-14    Annie K.: <appears I collect much to think about> A-ha... now I get it! <Hanh> you used 'collect' to avoid 'gather', right? ;) The word you are looking for is 'have': 'I have much to think about.' 'Have' and 'has' are used a lot in English: I have, you have, we have, they have; he has, she has, it has. Have a good day, you two too. :) May-09-14    Alien Math: Some confusion, I collect or gather many notes about, how or when sentence become "I have much to think about" not understand sorry May-09-14    Domdaniel: <Annie> -- <Are you doing anything novel, daring and reckless to celebrate your birthday?> Um, no. Unless some Indian food counts? I still prefer not to play chess online ... but I have two club games on Saturday, the last of the season. My score so far is a poor 3/8, so I really need some wins. May-09-14    Domdaniel: 'Recollect' means much the same as 'remember' ... but 'collect' is not the same as 'member'. Funny, that. 'I have much to think about' = 'There is much for me to think about' ... May-09-14    Open Defence: A Taurus ? :) May-09-14    Thanh Phan: First you gather or collect thu thap hoac thu thap, and after you can review xem xet what you gained, Now that I have their notes, I realize I have much to think about, or I realize there is much for me to think about, Keep on practicing away from the automatic translations, trong khi mot so tu lua ra tro nen vo dung thị hy vong ban se tim ra chut anh sang cho van de, if you persevere multiple times, then you can find a breakthrough, progress happens May-10-14    Annie K.: <Dom> how'd it go? <Thanh> thanks, that's exactly right. :) May-10-14    Domdaniel: <A> Two wins! <<9>> ... this is me on cloud nine ... May-10-14    Domdaniel: <Deffi> You got a problem with bulls, ma'am? If so, JG Ballard had an alternative zodiac in which Taurus was renamed 'The sign of the Computer' ... May-10-14    Annie K.: Woohoo, congrats! :D May-10-14    Domdaniel: <A> Woohoo yourself. I'm exhausted - the 2nd game went to a 65-move queen ending where both sides had mate threats, but I somehow hung on to win. And win with a mate, ackshly. In both games I had a lost position earlier, but scrambled a win. Viva Korchnoi! May-10-14    Annie K.: Sounds like a great adventure, hon! Post the scores when you get around to it. :) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 896 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
