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 333 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-27-08    mack: <kk I'll bite: what's a <findhorn>?> Kinda like Chessgames for social butterflies. Mar-27-08    jessicafischerqueen: cheers <mack> Is it an abbreviation for <findhornypeople>? I wish they'd call a spade a spade. Mar-27-08    jessicafischerqueen: the Countess of Abruzzo Mar-27-08    jessicafischerqueen: Shabby- Ken Shabby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhm4... Mar-27-08    Domdaniel: <Heh>. See, the mistake people make is they try to Google <Findhorn> and they think the 'Find' is redundant. It isn't. Get a map of Bonnie Scotland and look behind a giant cabbage. Shoot any hippies that appear. Mar-27-08    Domdaniel: <best western ever> ...? 1. McCabe and Mrs Miller 2. Once Upon a Time in the West 3. Pat Garret and Billy the Kid* 4. Blazing Saddles 5. The Searchers *"Beans. Beans. Pork and Beans. Beans." Mar-27-08    Domdaniel: "Gauche oot yersel in the heid" ... is a line from the infamous <Franco-Scots Western> "Bring Me the Heid o' Mel Gibson" ... Mar-27-08    Domdaniel: Drat. Jessica caught me out with a practical joke prank thing. A fake URL, yet. *Now* I'm embarrassed. Blush and Dubya Blush. Mar-27-08    jessicafischerqueen: Bring me the Bear of Afredo Garcia! Heh <bob Dylan> counting the bean tins... All great films ahoy- no doubt. However, GBand U (by the same director as number 2 on your list) is far and away the best. It's mythological!! BTW my Mom shagged <John Ford>. Mrs. Gaansevoooooort. Mar-27-08    jessicafischerqueen: Yes <Robert Altman> brilliant-- to get a great performance out of the otherwise <wooden> what's his face-- Warren Beatty-- is grounds alone for judging the "Alt Man" as brilliant. He's Pauline Kael's favorite director. "Get that dirty old man out of this operating theatre"!! (My favorite line from an Altman film) Mar-27-08    Domdaniel: So, anyway, I'd balanced my laptop on a marble chessboard on my bed ... and, forgetting the precariousness of all this, jumped up to join it. There was a rebound, a crash, a collision, five bits of chessboard, a very sick laptop, and I'm facing a *two hundred euro* bill for one bleedin' bounce on a bed. Pleasure is relative, I suppose. Mar-27-08    Domdaniel: <Jess> Would you agree that Dylan's "Beans..." soliloquy is a semiotic gastronomic-existential riposte to the rise of spaghetti westerns? Mar-27-08    jessicafischerqueen: That's horrendous <dom>. Forgive me but the loss of a marble chess set sounds as bad as hurting your puter. In New Westminister I was carrying my <labdog> from one room to another and I stepped on the power chord and we all crashed to the ground. My Puter was badly hurt, but luckily my sandwich was only slightly scuffed. You know in the last six years I've spent eouugh money in repairs/replacements etc. to buy 34 new <lab dogs>. Stupid computers. Mar-27-08    jessicafischerqueen: <Would you agree that Dylan's "Beans..." soliloquy is a semiotic gastronomic-existential riposte to the rise of spaghetti westerns?> Yes I would, Kent. Except for one thing: THEY DON'T EAT BEANS IN ITALY!! They only eat them in Spain... hmmm.. of course the "spaghetti westerns" were actually shot in Spain, not Italy-- OK you may be on to a conspiracy so vast that Mar-27-08    jessicafischerqueen: http://www.we_don't_eata_the_beans.... Mar-27-08    jessicafischerqueen: Heh yes the fabled "Manly sausage of courage", a very little known short chess novel by <Stephen Crane>: From the novel (this is an actual kibbutz heh): <sweeviltree: What a fool to play this way against Tal!! These poor guy's egg cracks open when his manly sausage of courage dries up.> Mar-28-08    Domdaniel: En avant, les Grands Saucissons! Ich bin ein Blutwurster! Black pudding at the speed of sound ... Well, yes. Thing is, trials indicate that superglue works with broken chessboards. Broken *Italian marble* chessboards, strangely enough. But when I lathered my <lab dog> with superglue it stopped barking and wouldn't even open its eyes ... There must be another way. I'm off to play in the Cork Masters now. If I play on one of the top four boards at some point, you can watch me being crushed live on the superglue-net web thing, apparently. If it ever gets off the ground. Mar-28-08    Domdaniel: <Cork> If anyone is actually innarested, try this: http://www.corkchess.com/livegames/... ... and see if any familiar names appear. They probably won't, unless you're a big Baburin fan. Mar-28-08    achieve: hmm... I might be in-ta-rested enough to check it out... How the heck is your comp, Dom? Mine is OK now except for the fact that it is naked and I spent years for proper clothing. I have to read up first now, I guess -- bin installing millions of thiongs these past hours. Oh and GOOD LUCK! Old Chum! Mar-28-08    Domdaniel: <Jess> - <THEY DON'T EAT BEANS IN ITALY!! > Er, <fava beans>, Chianti, a census-taker's liver ... ? You're not implying, I hope, that Dr Lecter would ever be so common as to eat non-Italian food? Apart from freshly eviscerated ones, obviously. "Bring me the head of Mr Bean." Hmm. With no bean-related methane fartings in Italia, the peninsula must have quite a carboon footprint, stiletto an' all. Maybe that's why they call it <Powergenitalia>. Mar-28-08    Red October: <"Bring me the head of Mr Bean." > Dr Bean to us mere mortals Mar-28-08    Domdaniel: Bizarre. I gather the live link didn't work due to some puter problem. Just as well, as I *was* playing Baburin on board 1, tried my first ever Nimzo-Indian, and resigned after 17 moves. Sigh. Spooky, though, that I mentioned him earlier - there are five other GMs playing, plus sundry mortals. Now I havta regroup a beat some of 'em. Mar-28-08    mack: <I *was* playing Baburin on board 1, tried my first ever Nimzo-Indian, and resigned after 17 moves.> Aw. I dunno what to say. I like Baburin a lot, as do you I believe, and it's a shame I missed the massacre live. It would have been a thrill to play him. But I'm also surprised that a) you would choose something you've not played before against a GM and b) that as a Nimzo devotee, you've never tried his Indian rope-a-dope trick before. In fact, didn't you once tell Baburin that you aspired to play like him? I know that if I played Suttles in some phantasy tournament I'd play what I knew. Which is, um, Rats. Oh lordy I'd be crushed. 'Oi, Jesus! Let's have a walking-on-water competition!' Mar-28-08    mack: Yuck. I was, of course, playing a game between me and myself as to who could get the word 'before' the most times into a single post. I won.
