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 911 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-18-14    OhioChessFan: Wait'll next year. Maybe. Dec-18-14    Domdaniel: <Ohio> "If you see someone drowning -- LOL". Insane, obviously, if taken in that sense. But many of the LOLs on this site are no less inane. I'm continually baffled as to why anyone, in kibitzing on a game, should regard a good, bad, unusual or original move as an excuse to laugh. Haven't they heard of *awe*? As the John Wayne story (apocryphal) put it, Wayne spoke a line of dialog ("Surely this man is the son of God") rather woodenly, and the director asked him to try again, "with more awe". Wayne complied. "Aww, surely this man is the son of God". But I digress. A plague upon Lollards. Dec-18-14    OhioChessFan: How lolicious. If he was a President, he'd be Lollard Fillmore. Dec-19-14    Domdaniel: <Ohio> Not Lolliam Jefferson Clinton? Or, more to the point, Ohio native Lolliam H. Taft? Dec-19-14    Domdaniel: Or Lolysses S. Grant? Lolliam McKinley? Lolvin Coolidge? (aka Silent Lol). Dec-22-14    Domdaniel: The Adventures of Sparchibald Ooner: Intending to rob the stock exchange with my trusty computer, I found I had accidentally broken into a French financial site. "Aaargh", I groaned. "I've hacked the wrong bourse!" Dec-23-14    Alien Math: Merry Christmas Domdaniel! Dec-23-14    Domdaniel: Thanks, <A.M.> -- and you too. Dec-24-14    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Domdaniel> Merry Christmas! Dec-24-14    moronovich: Merry Christmas <Dom> ! Dec-24-14    Domdaniel: Phew! I cut it fine again... Dec-24-14    Thanh Phan: Congrats on the clue and Merry Christmas Domdaniel! Dec-24-14    chancho: See? I knew you would do it. :-) Dec-24-14    Domdaniel: <chancho> Yep, how could I ever have doubted you? ;-) <Thanh Phan> Thanks, and you also! Dec-25-14    Annie K.: Hey, congrats! :) Dec-25-14    wordfunph: <Dom> Merry Christmas! Dec-25-14    waustad: Looking at the BBC website it seems Ireland has developed some sort of "12 pubs of Christmas" phenomenon. Where I live this sort of drinking herd is known as a "shuffle" and usually happens at the end of the school year. It started as a way to sell tee shirts. I usually try to avoid bars during these amateur hour events, like New Years, St. Pats, ... Dec-25-14    Domdaniel: <Annie> Thanks ... scored the final klu for the 2nd time, but without assistance on this occasion. Dec-25-14    Domdaniel: <waustad> Very wise. I try to avoid both amateurs and bars. I've seen herds of young folk engaging in those "12 bar blues" ... nightmarish. Dec-26-14    cormier: Joyeux Noël ... Dec-26-14    Domdaniel: Merci, mon vieux. Dec-27-14    Domdaniel: I'm going to play in a tournament on 2nd Jan - first time in two years. Wish me luck. Or, if not luck, skill. Dec-28-14    Alien Math: Many luck on tournament! Dec-28-14    Domdaniel: Thank you, Mathilde! Dec-28-14    Annie K.: I wish you a good time. :) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 911 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
