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 94 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-27-07    mack: <LOLOLOL> Laughs out loud out loud out loud? LOL Feb-27-07    TheAlchemist: <mack> Maybe there was an echo? :-) Feb-27-07    Domdaniel: "Archer: Sag-a-Torius" contd... "Domdaniel?" said Archer suspiciously. "Is that a foreign name?" The man laughed sardonically. "All names are foreign, Milord Archer", he sneered. "Take your own. You perhaps imagine a descent from the valiant English bowmen at Crecy or Agincourt, yes? Yes, but no. In fact your name is derived from the Tetrarch of Galilee." Archer knew he had a job to do. He heroically resisted the urge to take a quick look inside his trousers. Lady Archer could do that when he got home. The cocktail hour would do nicely. "And Domdaniel?" he spat back. The man smiled. "From 'The Book of 1000 Nights and One Night', which the English barbarians know as The Arabian Nights. It is a magician's palace beneath the sea. Much like the one in which you now find yourself..." Archer could hear a roar like distant thunder steadily growing more loud. He looked up and saw a tsunami, a vertical wall of water approaching faster than a speeding bullet... [tbc] Feb-27-07    Domdaniel: Now incorporating FROGSPAWN -- the chess magazine for batrachophiles. issue #1 out soon Domdaniel on the French twinlark on cane toads mack on something even more poisonous jessica as non-gender-specific agony person eyal as himself. "La France ne fait pas la guerre contre les grenouilles..." Feb-27-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> I'm in a bit of a tizzy here, will you let me know if my Avatar is in fact changed back to <Marie Antoinette>? It is on my screen, but I'm paranoid now. I just sent you a brief email explaining everything. Yer pal Jess Feb-27-07    Eyal: If memory serves, You look exactly as you did the day you arrived from Austria and stepped down from your carriage at Versailles. Feb-27-07    jessicafischerqueen: Whew... Thanks heaps <Eyal>, and thanks x ten million for your last email as well. Queen of France it is, then. Like you, I've decided to be "traditional." Heh Feb-27-07    jessicafischerqueen: PS your <Clinic> post is side-splitting... Feb-27-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> just noticed that you are launching <Frogspawn> online!! This is tremendously exciting news! (sings the Marseillesutusuues) Feb-27-07    laskereshevsky: <...You look exactly as you did the day you arrived from Austria and stepped down from your carriage at Versailles...> yes, and the first thing the rabbles thought were: " WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NECK!....." Feb-27-07    jessicafischerqueen: <LSK> you rascal! It's not just my neck... To garble a line from <Hamlet>: "Who will 'scape whipping"? Feb-27-07    laskereshevsky: Allons enfants de la Patrie Le jour de gloire est arrivé!! Contre nous de la tyrannie L'étendard sanglant est levé..... Feb-27-07    Domdaniel: <... or, in The Queen's English ...> "A lawn savant Who'll lop a tree..." It's all about gardening, yes? Lovely gardens, Versailles. With real painted shadows, as seen in Last Year in Marienbad. Marienbad, Karlsbad, Bad Karma. Begone, begone... Feb-27-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> I dropped a note round your palace. The handiman passed it to the footman who gave it to the head gardener. What, does my head really *need* gardening? Sleep, maybe. One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, little Bo-peep... hey, miss, excuse me? You can't bathe here, this is the sheep dip... Feb-28-07    Eyal: <as seen in Last Year in Marienbad. Marienbad, Karlsbad> Empty salons. Corridors. Salons. Doors. Doors. Salons. Empty chairs, deep armchairs, thick carpets. Heavy hangings. Stairs, steps. Steps, one after the other. Glass objects, objects still intact, empty glasses. Three, two, one, zero. Now you're wide awake and you will experience no ill effects of the hypnosis... Feb-28-07    Eyal: <Dom> Btw, I remember you liked <weisyschwarz>'s "If you wish a pawn a star" during the Nickel game; don't know if you noticed another brilliancy of his during the Topalov-Morozevich broadcast: <technical draw: if Topalov wins he will say that all his moves were finely calculated.> <weisyschwarz: <technical draw> do you mean "finally" calculated?> Feb-28-07    boz: <Know anything about chess? It can be a virtual life work, and what is it to absorb all a man's thought and energy? - William Burroughs> I'll let old Tarrasch answer that one: "Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy." Feb-28-07    mack: Sometimes you're relieved when famous people don't play the game... "I have several very nice chess sets including one they gave me in the Soviet Union but I am afraid I don’t know how to play." - Margaret Thatcher, 1988 Feb-28-07    Eyal: Just imagine what Thatcher would have done if she DID know how to play... Feb-28-07    Domdaniel: <If she did know how to play...> Terrible things, I should imagine. Going to war over the Falklands, smashing the miners, privatizing everything in sight ... terrible, unthinkable deeds, wholly out of keeping with the world we live in. Feb-28-07    Domdaniel: <Eyal> Hah - I don't hypnotize *that* easily. If I did, the French film festival I'm going to later in the week would turn me into an automaton... hmm. OK. Actually, I hypnotize even easier. Try "Three ways to hypnotize a chicken" from the Old Farmer's Almanac, <www.almanac.com/preview2000/hypnotize.html> Feb-28-07    Domdaniel: <boz> -- <I'll let old Tarrasch answer that one: "Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy."> What, only men? Feb-28-07    Eyal: <Going to war over the Falklands, smashing the miners, privatizing everything in sight ... terrible, unthinkable deeds, wholly out of keeping with the world we live in.> Brrrr... you've been reading too many alternative history novels, I suspect. Feb-28-07    Domdaniel: <...like love, like music...> 'music heard so deeply That it is not heard at all, but you are the music' - TS Eliot, Four Quartets. Kathleen Taylor adds: "While this state of absorption is associated with aesthetic rapture, immersing oneself in one's activity can also be a way to avoid facing up to the consequences of that activity" (Brainwashing: the science of thought control) Feb-28-07    boz: <What, only men?> Well, I didn't want to put (other) words into Seigbert's mouth.
