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 956 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-05-19    HeMateMe: Botvinnik was a master of the French. He used it more than any other great player. <I Pogrebissky vs Botvinnik, 1939> fine work here in the 1939 USSR championship. May-05-19    Diademas: For an all time best? Maybe this one: D Rovner vs Tal, 1955 A young Magician from Riga in an all out attack mode. May-05-19    Count Wedgemore: As for the best ever, I wanted to enter a Korchnoi game, he's played some of the best French games I can think of. But there isn't really one that stands out, I think. So I go with my all-time favorite French game. Rafael Vaganian's insanely attacking play in the French Tarrasch demolishing no other than the legendary Samuel Reshevsky: Reshevsky vs Vaganian, 1976 After 16 moves, the Armenian has already sacced two pieces, but only a few moves later he's already regained his material - with interest. Please take especially note of brilliances as 14...e5!! and 16...Bh4+!! Phenomenal stuff. If you haven't played through this game before, well, you just have to := May-05-19    mckmac: <Count> Zum Wohl! One of my favorite all-time games, period. Dom was a great admirer of GM Vaganian's play and *approach* to chess. <Domdaniel>: <Vaganian is still a magician. Here, playing a young Moldovan 45 years his junior, he plays the opening with an apparent lack of ambition, exchanging Queens and conceding the Bishop pair. Then, suddenly, he's on top -- at the end, Black will be a piece down.> Vaganian vs L Cerbulenco, 2014 (kibitz #1) May-05-19    mckmac: <Diademas> D Rovner vs Tal, 1955 The Magician from Riga takes a rare French vacation. Played when Tal was 19 years old. May-05-19    jessicafischerqueen: <Diademas>, <Matt> D Rovner vs Tal, 1955 Yes a sparkling French to be sure- Black to play: click for larger view May-05-19    jessicafischerqueen: <Tim> I don't want to pork anyone with a stick, but <Matt's> contest has me thinking that a rind in need, is a rind indeed. May-05-19    jessicafischerqueen: I'm not looking to boar anyone by not following the rules, but take a look at how one of our own in-house Masters, <Frederick Rind>, handled a French Exchange student this year. He never even let the poor chap out of the stoating gate! F Rhine vs NN, 2019 May-05-19    jessicafischerqueen: <Matt> <All other games, unless otherwise excluded, are entered for "The Dom". Cup 🏆, tee shirt 👕 and ribbon 🎗️? (Suggestions please)> What about braised pork ribbons washed down with red, red swine? I'm sorry that's all I can think of at the moment, since <Tim> simply will not stop hamming it up with these "theme puns". May-05-19    mckmac: <Jess> "A RIND IN NEED IS A RIND INDEED" Very nice. There's not many who could match that! Take my advice immediately- get in touch with 'Poppa's Porkers' the brains behind 'Sensational Salamis' and 'Superior Scratchings'. Sell *your* catchphrase to them for a bucket full of dosh. Then spend it.🐷🐖🐖 May-05-19    Boomie: Jessie is in fine form today. She's in a hurry because she's double porked. She's so hot she's bacon. Baby piglet back ribs brings out the best in her. Just remember that men sweat like pigs while women glow like sows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSS... May-06-19    HeMateMe: In one of his books Kasparov mentions that he was in a simul against korchnoi as a young teenager. I think VK was playing the top ten juniors of a regional area, something like that, or maybe the whole USSR jr. team. Every game was a French defense. In every single game the juniors, with white, exchanged the center pawns, which is safe but provides few winning chances. Everyone except Kasparov (age 14?) who played a standard French game where black is cramped but has chances. I think the game was drawn. May-06-19    mckmac: And the lights began to go off, one by one, on what would come to be known as day two of "The First Big Ham Punning Happening". In later years many would say they were there, but they weren't. How do we know this? Well, it was all written down - so we can look it up. May-06-19    mckmac: ... no need to root around for it. Kaching!! 🐷🐷🐷 - Line Pay 100 May-06-19    mckmac: It almost seems a little impolite to not have Nigel Short represented when discussing the French Defense. So here's my entry. Short delays and then delays castling, in a sharp Schlecter Variation against a fighting Jonny Hector. Hector vs Short, 1983 May-06-19    mckmac: <Jessica> That's a neat position from D Rovner vs Tal, 1955 (nominated by <Diademas>) I had just about worked it out, but then cheated and checked the kibitzing. In one of only six posts ever made here, the rarely spotted South American <Eliasparahyba> picks through the nest of complications. <Eliasparahyba: Very nice game! White cannot do nothing very cute: If 27. fxe3 then 27...Qg2+ 28.Ke1 Nhf3+ 29.Qxe3 Nxe3+ 30.Kd1 Qd2 mate! If 27.Qe1 Bd2 and there's not a satisfactory answer for white. If 27.Ne2, then after 27...Nxe2 28.Qxe2 Qxa1+ 29.Qe1 Qxe1+ 30.Kxe1 Bxf2! black has two connected passed pawns and an easy ending victory of six pawns and a knight against a bishop and two isolated pawns.> I am thinking our host might have approved of this Profile: <eliasparahyba: Member since Aug-26-06 Last seen Oct-20-14 I am a very weak brazilian amateur and i have never won a tournament. Since i have won many second prizes i happen to compare myself with the great Eratosthenes, who was called "beta" because he supposedly proved himself to be the second in the mediterranean world in many fields.> May-06-19    OhioChessFan: I will consider that sufficient grounds to be elected to the Profile Hall of Fame. May-06-19    mckmac: <Ohio> Agreed! 🌏🌎🌍 🎰🎰 Line Pay 💯 Credits 🎰🎰 May-06-19    mckmac: THE FOTLY CUP 2019 "Best French Defense Of The Last Year" Game Nominations 1.<Diademas> K Alekseenko vs B Savchenko, 2018 2.<Count Wedgemore> Yifan Hou vs Mamedyarov, 2018 3.<OhioChessFan> N Nestorovic vs G Meier, 2018 4.<HeMateMe>Z Harari vs N Zhukova, 2018 5.<Check It Out> C Yip vs T Abrahamyan, 2019 May-07-19    mckmac: "Anyone who has lingered in my forum (Frogspawn, Philoxenia, 20,000 Lashes, Antarctica Starts Here, usw) knows that much of the conversation isn't about chess at all, or even lingerie. I'm interested in *stuff* -- arts and sciences, shoos and sheeps and ceiling wicks, kibitzers and King Kong vs Gojiro in Dronning Maud Land. I like to make connections. I like people who make connections. Bad puns, bad languages, bad breathing, bad breeding, psychological insights, literary allusions, surrealist manifestos, or the sound of one hand stentorating. I'm not going to name any of the people who make CG so much fun. You know who you are, O my droogs and Zapkinder." - Gerry McCarthy (1958-2019) May-07-19    whiteshark: Greetings, <Dom>, wherever you are... Not a good year for French Defense. In my opinion, there were no convincing victories. So I took the fastest, <like it Arnott>: Gerardo Artola Pola vs J Arnott, 2018 May-07-19    Diademas: Maybe this contest should be judged by a spiritist, so <Domdaniel> could weigh in. I think the humour in that would not be lost on him. May-07-19    whiteshark: <Diademas> Out-of-band but with some reference: Maroczy / Rollans vs Korchnoi, 1985 May-07-19    Diademas: <whiteshark> And it's a French game! Someone should nominate it! May-07-19    jessicafischerqueen: <Diademas> good point. I nominate <The Shark's> Gerardo Artola Pola vs J Arnott, 2018 <"Like it Arnott"> lolol I nominate that as best pun so far in this contest. <Matt> we can has a prize for best pun as well? <Dom> enjoyed the pun, although nothing to the extent that <Tim> and <crawfb5> do.
