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 910 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-14-14    Domdaniel: <waustad> Having looked it up, I see that Myagmarsuren did indeed play Fischer: Fischer vs Myagmarsuren, 1967 Tumurbator played Spassky, but not Fischer. Dec-14-14    Domdaniel: And Batchimeg is none other than Tuvshintugs Batchimeg. Dec-14-14    Domdaniel: <Thanh Phan> -- < The only time I find clues are when I'm almost asleep or almost awake> I'm starting to think that I'm always either almost asleep or almost awake... full consciousness does not come by very often. Dec-14-14    Annie K.: 'Chimi' is Batchimeg's nickname, I saw that in an article some years ago. :) 'The other one' is a good name for the other one. ;s Dec-14-14    Annie K.: Whose actual name is - IIRC - Bathuyag Munguntuul or something like that... Dec-14-14    Annie K.: Heh, close: Batkhuyag Munguntuul Dec-14-14    Domdaniel: But does Batkhuyag go to the movies? Dec-14-14    Domdaniel: Calculation: it's 02.30am here. If I try to sleep now, I *may* be awake when later Klus arrive. Unlike the past few days, when I stayed up late and missed several klus in the morning. Can't win, of course. But one can try. ♘ Dec-14-14    Alien Math: Cheered, gained access to the advanced ESL course, thanks in part to <Domdaniel> and <Annie K.> for your support, Might break the basic simple English that I favor when tired or after a long day, Hope you can get enough rest <Domdaniel> the rest of the clues could be waiting Dec-15-14    Annie K.: <Hanh> that's great news, congrats. :) <Dom> is there a problem with your phone? Dec-15-14    chancho: User: dom User: you User: are User: due User: too User: win User: aaa User: new User: clue User: bee User: cool User: man :-) Dec-15-14    Domdaniel: <A> Not a problem, rilly, just a lapse of memory. Forgot to turn the thing on. Dec-16-14    Domdaniel: Congrats again to SwitchingQuylthulg, who can now retire for this year. <MAJ> has a supercomputer full of arcane DB search routines. <kevinatcausa> is very good at puzzles. But <Switch> seems to know every game of chess ever played... as well as being very good at puzzles and having some arcane search routines up his sleeve. Me, I'm just a slowcoach. Dec-16-14    Domdaniel: <chancho> Thanks for the good wishes, but I'd need to get lucky -- I've currently got a slow laptop and net connection that takes forever to load a page, and regularly drops out completely. Useless in a race. And in the more cryptic klus, there are several very good solvers around. Still, never say die, and all that. Dec-16-14    Domdaniel: Aargh! I thought I had klu #30 but my comp froze up. And BVer got there ahead of me. That, I think, is enough for today. Not much pickings in the last 24 hours. Dec-17-14    MostlyAverageJoe: First, thanks for the kind note. I have a nice snapshot capturing about 2/3 of the banner, right where I slipped :-) This idea of staying in retirement is quite taxing. I never saw klu#30, but, out of curiosity, I tested how long it would take me to write a program to brute-force the solution (test unfinished, got called for dinner). Anyhow, about 7-10 minutes estimated. Solving by hand might be more efficient, except now I have the framework and replacing predicates is a breeze, so it will be really hard to refrain from grabbing another klu of this type, if it appears while I am online. Dec-17-14    Domdaniel: Embarrassing. The cartoons in Klu #32 didn't load quickly enough, so I assumed that the heading "It's a small world" was the whole thing. And off I went, checking short games by the world, or played in the world open or world championships ... checking planets and moons ('small world' - it seems Arno Nickel has played both Pluto and Venus). And anagrams ... Soltis mall draw? Und so weiter. And so useless. Dec-17-14    chancho: <It's a Small World> is a song and boat ride at Disney. (I was at Disneyland Paris in 2013.) https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct... The idea that the cartoons were lined up as a Chinese Zodiac, and you had to solve it via math, pretty much spelled out for me that I was not going to solve the darn thing. Dec-17-14    Domdaniel: Hmm. Apart from the credit to Jessica on the Korean number klu, I see no sign of puzzles submitted by kibitzers. Did nobody pass muster? Or are they saving the best wine for last? Dec-18-14    SwitchingQuylthulg: Speak of the rabbit... I submitted one klu, but I strongly suspect it won't be used. Too difficult :) Though seeing how fast most klus have been solved, and given <cg> would probably like to have some that stay up a little longer, perhaps that shouldn't have been a problem. Dec-18-14    OhioChessFan: I was so put off the last 2 years I didn't bother to re-submit any. Dec-18-14    OhioChessFan: No lol-ing allowed. http://files.mom.me/photos/2014/12/... Dec-18-14    WannaBe: How fast can rescuer get there before the poor bastard drowns?!!? Also, CG.com will send you an email about 3 days (for me, at least) before the clue appears. So don't give up hopes, yet. Dec-18-14    OhioChessFan: 2 years ago, they did none after promising. Last year they did 1 of about 7 I submitted, without warning, and a bunch of poor hints that ruined the original clue, in my estimation. Dec-18-14    WannaBe: <OCF> Don't quit/give up, it's a learning process for CG, too. =)) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 910 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
