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 398 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-23-08    Domdaniel: "She left her heart in Frisco She left her room in a mess She left her hat at the disco She never left her address." From <I Was John Cooper Clarke's Body Double, But My Body Couldn't Take It> Aug-23-08    Domdaniel: Frogspawn ... the holiday of a lifetime. Where people come to doubt their own existence... "Better than a Spa" - A.N. Punter (Mrs) Aug-23-08    Domdaniel: <Jess> So, uh, you don't hold with the idea that all the Grand Narrative makers of the late 19th century -- Marx, Freud, Darwin, Lewis Carroll, Queen Victoria, etc -- were really Classic Realist novelists? Live a gesis, diegesis. Aug-23-08    Domdaniel: <Boomie> -- <The Big Head who is so great he eats when he's hungry and drinks when he's thirsty.> That is one very sick puppy. What happened to eating at mealtimes? And drinking at other times? Where have our <molars> gone? Aug-23-08    Domdaniel: <The Frogspawn Holiday Camp for Depraved Children and Woolly Existentialist Elephants> "More butts than Butlins" No buts. Aug-23-08    Domdaniel: Sometimes I wish I *was* a sockpuppet. - Why, Dom?? Cos somebody would shove me in the laundry basket and shut me up. NB. Hitherto unsuspected masochist tendencies. Aug-23-08    Domdaniel: <Ethical question> Do sockpuppets experience pain and suffering? No, but they're a martyr to their feet. Aug-23-08    mack: 'Where are the obligatory triggers?' Aug-23-08    Domdaniel: ... until the babble fades ... Aug-23-08    Domdaniel: The mackerel sky looks less like a moiré and more like a chessboard. Aug-23-08    Domdaniel: <mack> - <obligatory triggers> I think Roy Rogers is sitting on one. Unless it's up Hill and down Dale. Aug-23-08    Domdaniel: To craunch a marmoset. First catch your marmoset. Then play 1.a3 Aug-23-08    jessicafischerqueen: only 48 to go... Beware the white whale Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: <Jess> Thank you for the warning but as you can see I didn't heed it. It was 2am here, I was tired, I was running out of things to bounce off, and - strange though this may seem to some - I don't have the kind of mind that can go relentlessly on talking to itself in short bursts ad bloody infinitum. So Moby Dick is now 14th and I'll be 15th. I find it suspicious the way he lurked behind, then powered past and should really demand a dope test. But I'm not competitive enough anymore. One post a day for forty days in the wilderness, coming up. Or not. I guess they've had 200 million years of evolution spent perfecting these bursts of speed and biting other creatures in half. Aug-24-08    mckmac: < Dom > "One post a day for forty days in the wilderness, coming up." I vote for two. Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: <An ironic commentary on life in the form of a Bungee Chess position> click for larger view 1.Qe6# All four types of bungee-castle are illegal. Tough. Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: <mckmac> Two it is, then. Oops. Aug-24-08    Open Defence: turn on the TV... shut out the lights... Roy Rogers is ridin tonight..... Aug-24-08    mckmac: ...did we hear the word *ridin'*... Entirely apposite.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpwV... Aug-24-08    hoodrobin: <Domdaniel: <hoodrobin> You exist, don't you?> Yes, I Exist! Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: <Dom has given more than most of you put together.> Eh? Given more *what*, exactly? I'm just a kind of *Ancient Marinade* which stoppeth one in three. I want my obscurity back. Like these guys: There are men in the village of Erith Whom nobody seeth or heareth They spend hours afloat In a flat-bottomed boat Which nobody roweth or steereth. Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: Having studied the tactics used by the opposition I'll just add - a little testily - that they are not for me. Posts without puns violate the Olympian spirit, along with various sea-nymphs and dryads who don't really want to be violated. But don't think the Punic Wars are over just because Delenda est Carthago. We still have the nuclear elephants. And planning permission for an elephant farm facility on the French riviera. Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: Oh, and congratulations to <whiteshark> for passing one of life's great milestones. He who eats mountain passes milestone. Aug-24-08    Marvol: <Domdaniel: A pity Nimzowitsch didn't copyright the Nimzo-Indian.
