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 912 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-29-14    Alien Math: unsure what meaning from Mathilde Dec-29-14    Domdaniel: <A> And I hope your wishes come true... Dec-30-14    Domdaniel: Now, if I only had time to rebuild my openings between now and Friday... Dec-31-14    Annie K.: Don't be Russian to play the English, now... I suppose the French is ok too. ;) Dec-31-14    chancho: Happy New Year, <Dom>! Dec-31-14    Domdaniel: <Alien Math> I'm sorry, nothing too sinister was intended. "Mathilde" is simply a name that begins with the letters M-a-t-h... I'll try not to do it again. Dec-31-14    Domdaniel: Remove those ear-muffs, be natural ... Hippie Nude Ears, everyone! Dec-31-14    Domdaniel: To those in China, Israel, etc, whose years turn over on another date, and who may be bemused by this talk about 'nude ears', I say: "Bare with us". Dec-31-14    Annie K.: But my ears will freeze...? ;s Dec-31-14    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Domdaniel> Happy New Year! Dec-31-14    Domdaniel: <A> The Frozen Chosen ...? Dec-31-14    Domdaniel: It's 23:23 and I can hear rockets going off... Dec-31-14    Annie K.: Heh. Well, I'm not used to Alaskan weather... Happy New Year! :) Jan-01-15    harrylime: Appeh noo yeah The <brando> post dommy boy !?? I'm in love with Marlon Brando's cinema .. But where did you get this information from ?! lol Jan-01-15    Domdaniel: <Harold> Heh. We have our methods, old boy, don'tcha know ... ? I'm a bit of a Brando fan m'self... Jan-01-15    Shams: <Domdaniel> Good luck in the tournament! I'll be keen to see your games. Particularly the French ones. Jan-01-15    moronovich: Good luck in your tournament <Dom> ! Jan-01-15    Domdaniel: <Shams> Thanks! Though my last three games as Black started with 1.Nf3 or 1.c4 ... I reckon people are avoiding the French. Jan-01-15    Domdaniel: <moronovich> Thank you, too. I'll try to live up to your good wishes... Jan-01-15    Domdaniel: This event, the Mulcahy Memorial Tournament in Cork, is the first I ever played in ... in 1975, almost 40 years ago. Scary, that. Because it is traditionally run as one open Swiss tournament with no sections, there's always a danger (for me) of meeting much stronger and much weaker opponents in alternate rounds. This happened to me several times over the years - especially in the 1980s when the event had a strong entry. I used to score 3/6 ... 3 easy wins, 3 losses. In recent years, the Mulcahy Memorial has not been quite so strong, and I've scored 4/6 a couple of times. But there was usually someone like IM Alex Lopez between me and the prizes. This year's entry has a couple of 2300+ players, De Verdier and Daly. I seem to be seeded 15th. We shall see... Jan-01-15    Annie K.: In 1975, I was just beginning to talk. :) And I haven't stopped since! ;p Jan-01-15    Domdaniel: You youngsters ... I bet you know how the interweb works too... Jan-01-15    Shams: In January of 1975 I was a zygote. I've never been anything as cool-sounding since. Jan-02-15    Annie K.: Nobody knows the mysterious ways of the interweb. :) <Shams>, what, you're younger than me? Toddler. ;p Jan-02-15    Domdaniel: Well, OK, so I won the first game: a French, Advance Var., Wade ...Bd7-b5. Not very exciting: I exchanged off the LSBs and Queens (didn't feel like being attacked), won a pawn, ground out a win in a Rook ending. My opponent was rated about 1200. In the morning I face FM Colm Daly, more than 1000 points higher. These kind of oscillations tend to happen in a one-section open tournament like this. I've only played Daly once before - a loss in the 1980s. We shall see... Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 912 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
