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 392 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-12-08    Domdaniel: <apropo of zilt>?? Is that anything like <the Akond of Swat> or <the Sanjak of Novi Pazar>? Just asking. Aug-12-08    mckmac: "Is that anything like <the Akond of Swat> or <the Sanjak of Novi Pazar>?" Potthibilly.Just saying. Aug-13-08    Domdaniel: As the <de facto Apropo of Zilt>, We have decided to annexe the game of chess. Since this is a work of art rather than an act of war, resistance is futile. Aug-13-08    Domdaniel: <correction> The Akond of Swat was actually an Akhund, as well as being a Wali. His Akhundry or Akhundredth or whatever it was has since been absorbed by Pakistan. I blame that Edward Lear: "Who, or why, or which, or what is the Akond of Swat?" Aug-13-08    Domdaniel: <The Frogspawn School of Useless Information Synchronized Boating Song> "Our brains are mush So is our diction And everything we say is fiction. Our Kings get mated By their Knights Last one done turns out the lights. We are a dubious Dodgy college But if we don't have it, it isn't knowledge." Aug-13-08    Domdaniel: <Jess> -- <"You <put name here>!" is from <The Sound and the Fury>.> Quite. Just so. Exactement. And ... <"The very life of [insert name of nation] is at stake!"> ... is from Gravity's Rainbow. The difference being that the instruction to insert is an integral part of the Pynchon quote, but not of the Faulkner one. D'you reckon this matters? Or can we safely ignore it and trust everything won't blow up in our faces? If we *had* faces ... Aug-14-08    jessicafischerqueen: Yes, it does-- It's a huge difference. Faulkner never breaks realist diAgesis (heh) ever. The "sassy" fiction, as you know, comes after the War (WW II The Big One). In America I mean. Brecht wrote the theory for it before the post war American novelists though. What about <Toole> A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES. heh. "nuclea bum" is how the janitor says "nuclear bomb." You wouldn't find spelling like that in pre WAR US fiction either. Mrs. Oedipa Mas Aug-14-08    jessicafischerqueen: 1960s. I mean post-1960s American fiction. Not WWII the big one. Sorry everyone!! Aug-14-08    Domdaniel: Belay that order! The lady slings her hook here whenever she wants. She can hook her sling too, if she likes. <mckmac> More respect for the senior officers, sir, or I'll cut off your bishopric. Cap'n Ahab. Aug-14-08    Red October: belay di belay belay that hook, line and sinker..... Aug-14-08    Domdaniel: "Haul on the bowline We sang that melody Like all tough sailors do When they are far away at sea". This is <Nautical Theme Week> at Frogspawn. I'm sure that <Red October> (Captain: Sean Connerski) will understand. Dive! Dive, and never mind the whitesharks! Aug-14-08    jessicafischerqueen: You'll be pleased to know that I got my copy of <Jan Hein Donner's> "The King" today.... Heh... From the film <Das Boot>: "I need accurate damage reports!" Aug-14-08    jessicafischerqueen: And I got <Fritz> too. heh. Aug-14-08    Boomie: "Captain Arab he started Writing up some deeds He said, "Let's set up a fort And start buying the place with beads" Dylan's 115th dream that week. Aug-15-08    Red October: <The Rookes poore Pawnes, are sillie swaines / Which seldom serue, except by hap / and yet those Pawns, can lay their traines / To catch a great man, in a trap / So that I see, sometime a groome / May not be spared from his roome. --- Nicholas Breton > I could have sworn you wrote that.... btw did anyone tell Chessbase not to mention the war ? Aug-15-08    mack: <jess: You'll be pleased to know that I got my copy of <Jan Hein Donner's> "The King" today....> I am pleased. I have chosen to begin my MA thesis with a quotation from, if I remember correctly, p.337 of said tome. Aug-15-08    Domdaniel: <I am pleased. I have chosen to begin my MA thesis with a quotation from, if I remember correctly, p.337 of said tome.> I began mine with this matching set of quotes: "Events seem to involve more than just individual decisions and to be determined more by socio-cultural systems..." - Ludwig von Bertalanffy "Events seem to be ordered in an ominous logic." - Thomas Pynchon Aug-15-08    Red October: and order seems to be prevented by a luminous tragic presence, i.e. global warming.... do I get my Doctorate yet ? Aug-15-08    Harvestman: "If I knew what I was doing, it wouldn't be research" (I don't know the source of this one, but I used it on the inside cover of my PhD thesis). ... "Theory is when things don't work, but you know why. Practice is when things work, but you don't know why. We combine theory with practice: Nothing works, and we don't know why not". - Quote attributed to the Norweigan Arctic Survey Aug-15-08    Stonehenge: If I knew what I was doing, I wouldn't be doing it. Aug-15-08    Domdaniel: <Dr October> Yes, you do. You may now get in anywhere by saying "Let me through, I'm a doctor". Aug-15-08    Domdaniel: <Nothing Works> It was my ambition to run a Nothing Works -- a factory with nothing after nothing rolling off the nonproduction line ... But nothing works out as planned. Aug-15-08    Red October: if nothing worked then....erm... it would be.... erm.... darn it!!! Aug-15-08    Domdaniel: All working and no breaking down makes Jack a robotnik. *breaks down* "It'll never work, I tell you!" "So what? It might be *fun*."
