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 908 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-25-14    Domdaniel: <cro777> Thanks for the correction re Bogo - once again you demonstrate that I don't really know what I'm talking about, don't know my Erse from my Albanian, usw. On the other hand, don't our god-fearing brethren say that 'God is love' (a copula)? In which case, loving god and being loved by god might not be so different after all. Both boil down to 'love loves love', which sounds like a Van Morrison song... Nov-25-14    cro777: <Domdaniel:In which case, loving god and being loved by god might not be so different after all.> That would be "everything". Bill Russell: "To love someone is nothing, to be loved by someone is something, but to be loved by the one you love is everything." Nov-26-14    Domdaniel: <Annie> Did I mention that "repaint your scenes" is brilliant? Why is everyone smarter than me? OK, maybe not everyone. Nov-26-14    Domdaniel: "When they said 'repaint, repaint', I wondered what they maint..." L. Cohen Nov-26-14    Annie K.: Subliminally. ;) Pretty sure they aren't, btw. :) Nov-27-14    Domdaniel: Well, the people that I like are, mostly. This is possibly an unusual trait. People are more commonly resentful of those who appear smarter. Who do they think they are, anyhow - knowing stuff? Nov-29-14    Annie K.: :) Well, that reminded me of Harrison Bergeron, and then, one thing leading to another, I just read this in one sitting - a novel? Or novelette? Not sure, hard to tell just reading from the screen, but I get a lot more reading done this way than trying to read paper, these days - anyhoo, I know you like Vonnegut, have you read his 'Jailbird'? I think I like it. Have a link... ;) http://85.17.122.144/bookreader.php... Nov-29-14    Domdaniel: <A> I think Jailbird might be one of the Vonnegut books I missed, somehow. Thanks. I was just looking for something good to read. Nov-29-14    Domdaniel: <Annie> It's wonderful. Thanks again. Nov-29-14    Annie K.: Yes, very good psychology. You're welcome. :) Nov-30-14    tranquilsimplicity: <Domdaniel> Thank you for the invitation to your forum. Your CG moniker compelled me to return to the world of romantic poets; and I was awoken from my ignorant slumbers by Robert Southey's 'Thalaba the Destroyer'. I have a feeling that is the source of the moniker; but I may be wrong. Anyhoo, I am not very active here and may in fact not be 'seen around' for a long while, but your profile is the only one that instilled in me a peculiar urge to unravel the identity of the Kibitzer, though admittedly, not to any purpose, just a burning curiosity. The profile is incredibly humorous, very intelligent, absolutely creative, and attractively eccentric! It's simply the best. Have a lovely day.# Nov-30-14    tranquilsimplicity: <Domdaniel> Bingo! It must be the 'Arabian Nights'; because the profile's narrative never ends. Pardon my obsession with the profile. Enjoy your day.# Dec-01-14    Domdaniel: <tranquil> Yes, the Kitab of 1000 Nights and a Night, aka Arabian Nights, seems to be the source for the word Domdaniel. A French translation, I think. "Nothing is ending and certainly not this..." Dec-02-14    Domdaniel: Arabian Nights: M♘&♘ Dec-02-14    Domdaniel: Toponymy: my club now meets in Bishopstown, Cork. Dec-02-14    Annie K.: Now that's a lot better! :D Dec-08-14    Domdaniel: O Nuklu! I have become an apostate. I no longer believe, O Nuklu! But look kindly upon me anyway, O Nuklu! Deities are said to be generous like that. O Nuklu. Dec-08-14    Annie K.: Ah, the warmup exercises! =) Better apostate than lying prostrate on a prostate, I always say. Better yet to take to a real bed for some serious stocking-up on sleep hours; as we know, the Trials of Nuklu include the Ritual Ordeal of Sleep Deprivation. Here's to Hopes of Happy Hunting! :) Dec-09-14    Domdaniel: <Annie> A distant relative of mine, a man whose vocabulary didn't always keep up with him, is reputed to have announced "I returned home to find my dear wife lying prostitute on the floor..." Dec-09-14    Annie K.: Heheh, owwwch! Dec-09-14    Alien Math: <Dec-09-14 chessgames.com: <Holiday Present Hunt> It's coming! Please note that there is a small schedule shift this year. Instead of starting the contest at midnight USA/Eastern, we are going to start it at noon USA/Eastern. Hopefully that will let us all get some sleep tonight and be fresh for the first nuklu!> Time appear near! this year we able to gather rest first, Many luck :) Dec-10-14    Domdaniel: Just so. Good luck to hunters and gatherers... Dec-10-14    Annie K.: Set viewers to 'None'! ;) Dec-10-14    Domdaniel: None of which will help much. My nutterweb connection is too slow and sporadic. I have no chance in a race ... only if everyone is stuck on something fiendish. Dec-10-14    Domdaniel: S---TUM, eh? For a moment it looked like it might be Old Scrotum, the wrinkled retainer.
