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

Jan-19-17    harrylime: <mckmac: woops, here's "Darling Lorraine" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5e... This is beautiful. Paul Simon is cool . Jan-20-17    mckmac: Nicely said <Harry>. You must've seen this one ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUz... I never tire of watching it. Jan-28-17    Alien Math: Chúc Mừng Năm Mới 2017 Happy New Year! Jan-28-17    Domdaniel: <'arry> If you listen to Zappa's "We're only in it for the Money" you'll hear a track called "Harry, you're a Beast" ... https://youtu.be/6-9FX7bhESs "Goddam it, Madge, I ..." "Harry, you're a beast!" Jan-28-17    Domdaniel: <Alien Math> Thank you. A new year is ... a new year. Or something. Thanks for being brilliant. Feb-19-17    mckmac: <Domdaniel> I hope you are okay Dom. You haven't been around for nearly a month now and last time you went awol the news wasn't good when you finally got back. Matt Feb-20-17    Domdaniel: I am extant. Still playing games. Scored 3.5/6 in Bunratty Challengers, which I thought might be enough for a grading prize. But some kid pipped me, as usual. Feb-22-17    mckmac: <Scored 3.5/6 in Bunratty Challengers ...> ... and finished 23/84 which in my book is a sterling performance (thanks be to google, dig the 23 too, and thnks for the delete) Mar-06-17    whiteshark: Dom, here are <5 Bunratty shorts> for your amusement http://de.chessbase.com/portals/All... German cb report with some fine b/w photos: http://de.chessbase.com/post/short-... Mar-06-17    Domdaniel: "Painting is strategy, and not tactics." - Jack Yeats. Mar-06-17    Domdaniel: <whiteshark> Danke. It's a very fine tournament. I don't know exactly why I didn't play Bunratty in recent years, but I will return. The 'Short family' is amusing. Last year somebody even persuaded Nigel to wear a false beard, so there were five hairy Shorts. And this year he threatened to return with some of his own family members, so there could be seven Shorts. I watched the Speelman-Bates game live. Incredible stuff. Mar-20-17    OhioChessFan: < Last year somebody even persuaded Nigel to wear a false beard, so there were five hairy Shorts. > That's really awesome. Mar-23-17    Domdaniel: <Ohio> You should see the photos. I must try to find a link. 'Awesome' doesn't really do justice to the spectacle. Apr-17-17    Alien Math: Hello <Domdaniel> hope you are doing well i thought you would like this exploration of fonts in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY it goes on through the movie in an interesting way using both the fonts and the movie parts with pictures to explore or compare https://typesetinthefuture.com/2014... Apr-23-17    Domdaniel: <Alien Math> Thanks. If HAL had used Comic Sans he'd never have gone psycho. Jun-12-17    Alien Math: Found an article that shows "1,000-Year-Old Manuscript of Beowulf Digitized and Now Online" and the link is clickable in the third paragraph http://www.openculture.com/2016/06/... Jun-30-17    Domdaniel: <Alien Math> Interesting, thank you yet again for your discoveries. Once upon a time I could (roughly) read Beowulf in the original Anglo-Saxon, but most of it seems to be gone now. Jul-15-17    Domdaniel: OK, I'm back. Had to disappear into hospital for a week or two, so they could try (yet again) to persuade me to eat regularly, put on some weight, take more care of my liver, watch my fragile bones, usw. But life gets boring quite soon when you start to look after yourself. Anyhoo, on the general balance of probabilities... I'm alive. More or less... Jul-16-17    Alien Math: bet its nice to be home ^.^, guessing i'm fortunate or unfortunate to have someone to remind me until i actually eat since i tend to forget things like looking at the time, hoping to see the planet of the apes movie before it exits from the theaters Jul-17-17    Domdaniel: <Alien> Thanks. Yes, it's good to regain my freedom. I haven't yet seen the new Planet of the Apes movie either - it sounds good. I was a fan of the original Apes movies when I was about ten years old. So much so that whenever my mother saw me watching SF on TV she'd say "Are you looking at the monkeys again?" Jul-18-17    cohare: Oh, maybe just nibble.” .....“You know how to nibble, don't you Gerry? You just open your lips , and swallow.” Keep Well Jul-19-17    Alien Math: various tech giants have united to ensure ai is being developed in a responsible way via <Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society> maybe to prevent HAL from the 2001 movie from happening https://www.partnershiponai.org/201... on fooding if that's even a word, i encountered troubles before and went down to around 36-37 kg weight, the path to return to 41kg took a while, they kept various high energy type snacks near me and a number of fruit mixes or other drinks, granola bars crackers or a gorp, a type of trail mix found in america, between munching on a grape and a saltine cracker i would sometimes have an icecream or something just so they would know i would at least snack. Aug-03-17    Domdaniel: <alien> And I thought 'gorp' was prog rock played backwards... Aug-03-17    Domdaniel: 'Drinking' is a word, so 'fooding' *should* be a word too. Hardened fooders may scoff.
