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 937 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-10-17    OhioChessFan: Another mathematician User: Poincare Jan-11-17    Domdaniel: <In any case, if you're looking to win, it has to be a Sicilian or expecting to win an endgame 50 moves on.> This, unfortunately, may be true. Jan-13-17    mckmac: <Uncle Dom> Na Zillun? Not even close Dom and you've told the joke* before. Have you ever been here, or did I miss that days edition of the newspaper? Jan-13-17    mckmac: Moving right along now ... This is a great song by a truly great artist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEg... And this is still my favourite Leonard Cohen track. Of course he wrote many much more important songs* - but the pull of memory/nostalgia is strong, and this is the first Cohen track I remember hearing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kz3... Jan-14-17    Domdaniel: <mckmacaroonie> I borrowed 'Na Zillun' from some other writer ... Theroux, maybe? And even if it isn't close, hey, it's close enough. Like, yanno, "Oirland". Jan-14-17    Domdaniel: Or "Inglan" (is a beach). Jan-14-17    mckmac: <Dom> Yeah, Paul Theroux sounds about right. I rilly liked one of his earliest books but forget the title. He was a youngish teacher or aid-worker in Africa. Can't remember even what country. He also said something famously waspish about God's Own Country (Nu Zillun - a bit closer) but can't recall and don't much care what it was. Hey, Je suis numero uno fan de Bill Bryson. In fact, I would like to be Bill Bryson. Minus 30 pounds. I am in our Central Library right now and succeeded three burly leprachauns on this computer. Methinks they must be Irish travellers who dress that way to try to pull our pure Kiwi lasses, but I can't be sure. They were both surly and rude. They'll fit in well here, then. Jan-15-17    Domdaniel: < three burly leprachauns > - They sound more like undercover wannabe rugby players... Jan-16-17    mckmac: <Uncle Dom> Yeah, they weren't ackshully dressed like the little fellas .... I do like to tell the odd lie, every now and then, yanno. Okay, bellbottom trousers, boots, 70's sized belts with big-assed buckles, white shirts in the 'Aramis' style, and nifty little waistcoats ... Some sort of guild? I know the Gerries send their carpentry apprentices off travelling in the traditional garb. I put a couple of them up once in my warehouse. Yep, I lived in a frickin warehouse for a couple of years, back in '04. My old mate John Lamour got me in there. Real nice fella, but I wouldn't want to cross him. Crazy about Samuel Beckett, and probably not in a good way. I saw him the other day for the first time in years and we had a darn good bitch about the mad women we both knew/know. I enjoyed it hugely. Jan-16-17    Domdaniel: <mckmac> Yeah, Beckett fans can be ... unpredictable. One guy I knew bought a car that used to belong to Sam, and then became excited by the fact that there were still ashes in the ashtray. Ashes actually smoked by Beckett. "You used me like an ashtray heart" - Don Van Vliet "It is better to *have known" mad women than to know them now." - Moi. Jan-16-17    OhioChessFan: He should have DNA tested that ash backwards. Jan-16-17    Domdaniel: <Ohio> - "Ash backwards" is "backwards ash" ass backwards... Jan-17-17    mckmac: <Dom> "It is better to *have known" mad women than to know them now." - Moi. Very good. Personally, I have been sitting too long in the booth to have an opinion on the matter, but there was a time, and oh what a time it was, when I was so unattractive, and so boring, that the only women who would even consider* me were completely certifiable. Part Two of this story deals with the most profound intimate experience of my life and has just been returned by The Office of The Censor. It clearly still needs work. ".She XXX her xxxx on my XXXXXXXXXX and I was xxxx. The xxxx began to xxxx. Slowly at first but then XXXXXX. I was in xxxxxx. There was then the unmistakable xxxxx of a xxx in the door and in walked her xxxxxxxxinxxx..." yawn, etc Jan-19-17    Domdaniel: <mckmac> Very xxxy. Although I reckon I tend to see things the other way round, ie, crazy women are the most interesting and attractive ones, and you really need to have similar qualities to appeal to them. Being "unattractive and boring" just won't do, y'know? And neither will excessive modesty. Me, I reckon you're quite crazy and thus quite interesting. Though I can't speak for les femmes. Jan-19-17    Domdaniel: " in walked her xxxxxxxxinxxx.." You've got me there. Her Macintosh? Her Cousin? Her machinist? Her ballerina? Jan-19-17    mckmac: <Dom> Heh, I thought I might get that one through to the wicketkeeper. A small cheat, but with the hyphens it would be much too easy, no? Ans: dauughter-in-law Jan-19-17    Domdaniel: <m> Heh. I will refrain from analysing the way you spell 'dauughter'. OK, I won't refrain... "Two u's" = "to use" ... Jan-19-17    mckmac: <Uncle Dom> Unintentional, I assuure you.It's funny you know, I don't think I've ever really got* women. They do say that the one thing a woman will never forgive you for is missing a chance to bed her. I'm either too diffident or too full on. Cripes, you know, right now my name is being blackened by a lady* who says I am, and have been, "stalking" her. Shoot me now willya? Jan-19-17    mckmac: <Dom> Perfect sense to me. I mean, I'm as big a horndog as the next dude but I've only been tumbled once ( but oh, what a tumbling it was ...) in the last nine years. Okay, so six of those were wiped out stuck in a quiet room with "depression", but I think you will agree, that's a pretty low strike rate. I just kind've forgot how to play the game. I'm a bit funny, I know. For instance, I can honestly say that the most memorable intimate experience of my life was a hug from the witch who is now saying that I'm stalking her. Go figure ... Jan-19-17    harrylime: Some proper man love going on here on this forum ! lol lol lol lol xxxx Jan-19-17    Domdaniel: Envious as ever, 'arry? Jan-19-17    harrylime: lol No <MISTER DOM> Just in awe xxx Jan-19-17    harrylime: As in .. Justin Hooor The LATEST Belgian loanee for DCFC xxx Jan-19-17    harrylime: I don't mind some MAN LOVE <MISTER DOM> Each to their own I say xx Jan-19-17    mckmac: <Dom> & <Harry> I was listening to Paul Simon's "You're The One" this morning. Have you guys heard it? If you haven't you are in for a trip and a treat. This song is by no means exceptional, the whole album is just outstanding.
