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

Frogspawn: Levity's Rainbow

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 920 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-20-15    Domdaniel: Some people on this site are amused by chessplayers with 'exotic' names. I will refrain from giving examples. But I see that Facebook recently banned a woman named Isis. I was reminded of the 1970s Dylan song which went "I married Isis on the 5th day of May..." And then there was the unfortunate Viet-Australian named Phuc Dat Bich. Nov-20-15    Boomie: I do not care to see a perfectly serviceable goddess like Isis dragged through the mud...the sand of lunatic struggles. She represents the first resurrection mythology known although the Lakota Buffalo Dance probably predates it. Anyhoo they are delightful narratives and should be treated with some decorum, at least. Nov-21-15    Domdaniel: <Boomie> I agree - call the lunatics Daesh instead. Nov-21-15    jessicafischerqueen: Thanks for the kudos, old sock. It's good to see you active on the <Beef Stroganoff> page, delivering a few pithy gems and also lightening the tone with your trademark humor. Nov-22-15    ketchuplover: taste the rainbow Nov-22-15    thegoodanarchist: <Domdaniel: <Boomie> I agree - call the lunatics Daesh instead.> That makes me think of the character Bouksani Desh played by Joey Ansah in the Bourne Ultimatum. Nov-23-15    Domdaniel: <jess> Why hello, your jessiness ... my apologies for disagreeing with you on the airy-plane thing ... but I guess I don't get as many flights as you do. In fact, I haven't been in a plane for more than five years, so I can afford to act aloof. As for humor, I've decided to ramp it up (oops! when people say stuff like that they're usually getting very humourless indeed...). But I want to *laugh* at the buggers. I mean, what else have we got? Snort! Nov-24-15    Domdaniel: My mystical spiritual double ... ?? <According to a reference book’s entry on him, this chessplayer attacked wildly, was unaware when to attack, was neither a scientist nor a theoretician, did not know, or was unable to explain, why what he did at the chessboard had to be done, cared relatively little about the outcome of a game, underestimated his opponents, appeared incapable of learning from his errors, was excessively self-confident, frequently lost his temper and was intolerable when defeated, did not have many friends and was virtually forgotten when he died.> (Quote from Winter's Chess Notes). Nov-24-15    jessicafischerqueen: <Of course it bloody matters.> heh... Nov-24-15    OhioChessFan: <My mystical spiritual double ... ?? <According to a reference book’s entry on him, this chessplayer attacked wildly, was unaware when to attack, was neither a scientist nor a theoretician, did not know, or was unable to explain, why what he did at the chessboard had to be done, cared relatively little about the outcome of a game, underestimated his opponents, appeared incapable of learning from his errors, was excessively self-confident, frequently lost his temper and was intolerable when defeated, did not have many friends and was virtually forgotten when he died.>> No, you don't frequently lose your temper. Nov-24-15    jessicafischerqueen: <Ohio> but he does kick people under the table like Tigran Petrosian. I have a flim clip of him kicking Kortschnoi but I can't find the bloody thing at the moment. I have so much chess material collected over the years that I've saved it in so many different places I can't remember which is the most recent folder I use to collect new material in... I'm terrified of losing it and having to spend another 12 years collecting it all again... Nov-25-15    Boomie: <Jess: I can't remember which is the most recent folder> At the risk of being out of context and/or making the mistake of taking you seriously, you can sort your folders by date. Nov-25-15    jessicafischerqueen: <Teem> That is an excellent idea! If I ever figure out which hard drive has the most recent mega folder I will use your ingenious "dating" method. Seriously it's testament to my ditziness that I never thought of using "dates" to date my collection... Nov-25-15    Domdaniel: <Ohio> That's true, I don't. Nor have I died, as far as I can tell. But the rest sounds familiar. Nov-25-15    Domdaniel: The Victorian statistician Galton - a cousin of Charles Darwin - noted that British royals should be long-lived, as millions of people ask God daily to "save the Queen". Queen Elizabeth II will be 90 in April. Saved! Nov-30-15    juan31: < Domdaniel> ♔ ANNOUNCEMENT ♔ In < Golden Executive forum > <Game Prediction Contest> for the <London Chess Classic 2015> tournament. Round 1 will be played next Friday December 4 16:00 GMT(UTC +0:00). Line-up: Carlsen, Caruana, Nakamura, Anand, Topalov, Grischuk, Giri, Aronian, Vachier-Lagrave, Adams. Rounds: 9 The full pairings are released; the game prediction contest is open right now. Just post your predictions before each round begins. Dec-02-15    OhioChessFan: I saw where Rahm Emanuel fired you. Don't let it get you down. Dec-02-15    Boomie: <OhioChessFan: I saw where Rahm Emanuel fired you.> It's a shame! He was the best writing police commissioner Chicago ever had. Dec-03-15    Domdaniel: <Ohio> Heh, I heard on the radio that a certain "Gerry McCarthy" had been fired in Chicago... but later they changed it to "Gary McCarthy". Probably afraid I'd sue them. Or something. Dec-03-15    Domdaniel: <juan31> Why are you telling me this? I have no interest in prediction games. I don't even know what a 'ranker' is. Dec-04-15    Domdaniel: A 13th game of mine has turned up in the CG database: G McCarthy vs C O'Hare, 1976 Dec-06-15    Boomie: <Domdaniel: A 13th game of mine> What do you think the GOTD pun will be? "The Tortoise and O'Hare" perhaps? Dec-06-15    Domdaniel: <Boomie> It would be apt -- O'Hare usually beat me. Dec-06-15    Boomie: <Domdaniel: O'Hare usually beat me.> Ah, but your win is enshrined now for posterity, such as it is. As Polugaevsky said, "I've beaten Super Nezh a dozen times but I would trade them all for that one game." Dec-09-15    Domdaniel: <Boomie> - <Ah, but your win is enshrined now for posterity, such as it is.> Indeed. But (cue fanfare) ... What. Did. Posterity. Ever. Do. For. Me? Hadda say that. Sorry.
