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 399 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: <Marvol> Good point. And the other Nimzo -- 1.e4 Nc6 -- would be much less profitable. That's a cool <op avatar>, btw. Hard to drag my eye away from its vertiginous vortices. Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: Okay. Bear with me while I do a *tiny* bit of numeration ... We just hit page 400 here (huzzah!). When it fills, that'll be 25 x 400 = 10,000 posts on this page. Which is almost identical to the number of posts made by me, anywhere. Therefore - I think - the number of posts made by other people here is almost identical to the number of posts by me elsewhere. Is this (a) seriously weird, (b) a total misunderstanding on my part of how stuff works, or (c) just nature's way of balancing things? Don't ask me. Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: <Deffi> - <too bad India did not copyright the 0> Yes, zero is up there with naan and jalfrezi among major Indian contributions to human wellbeing. Aug-24-08    Marvol: <Domdaniel: <You cannot choose to disobey a law simpy because you disagree with it.> If everyone thought like this then police, judges, criminal law employees and jail staff would be unemployed and on the dole.> You disappoint me, your reasoning skills are normally much better than this. Or it's a joke - not a good one in that case. Of course not everyone that breaks the law does so because of the reason that you give. So there'd be ample work for "police, judges, criminal law employees and jail staff" even if us lot would stop being civilitically disobedientical. (Sorry to pollute your forum with this but I much prefer that over polluting the challenge page. It's filling up with crap, you'd not guess that by tomorrow we've got a move to consider.) Aug-24-08    Marvol: <Open Defence: too bad India did not copyright the 0> Maybe they were so proud of its invention that they wrote down another, just for the heck of it, when they had to decide on the size of the royalties :). <Domdaniel>: agreed about the naan and the jalfrezi. Aug-24-08    hoodrobin: <mckmac> Yes, Matt, I used to play ping-pong. Best regards. hoot. Aug-24-08    mckmac: < hoodrobin > 'on ya.Yes I know,dreadful game, tweet.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPcj... Aug-24-08    ravel5184: And I haven't even hit 1000 yet! Aug-24-08    Open Defence: hey! you owe me at least 100 pages!!! Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: <Marvol> Of course it was a joke: reductio ad absurdum, I believe. But there's also a point about law-breaking. Like most people, I frequently break the law -- just not in a way that's likely to result in prosecution or criminal sanctions. I also studied law for a year or so, but we were never meant for each other. Some recent research showed that drivers break speed limits but then stop at a red light -- perceiving either a different level of illegality or a different level of risk. A joke - quality not guaranteed - is my way of saying I find a debate somewhat ridiculous. Maybe I find too many things ridiculous, for some tastes? And - while I admit I contributed to it - there's far less rubbish on the game page than in earlier bouts. It's been quite focused, overall. Sigh. Never try to explain a joke. Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: 200 years ago, people were imprisoned for debt and executed for theft. Something like 90% of those in prison (in Britain, at least) were there for debt. In the unlikely event that our civilization survives another few centuries without major damage, I suspect people will look with horror on our habit of jailing people for drug possession. Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: <ravel5184> Patience, you'll get there. It took me two years, which was slow by Jessican standards but fast by others... Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: <Deffi> I owe you everything. I owe many people everything. Maybe I should be locked up? Thanks to everyone for providing me with stuff to bounce off. Couldn't have done it without you. Literally. OK officer I'll come quietly. Aug-24-08    Red October: <Couldn't have done it without you. Literally. > but your law breaking is entirely your own Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: <Red> - <but your law breaking is entirely your own> If I go down I'll finger my 'suppliers' too ... Aug-24-08    ravel5184: Who is <Deffi> anyway? Aug-24-08    Stonehenge: Ask <Larkers>. Aug-24-08    ravel5184: Well, thanks for the big help! Aug-24-08    Stonehenge: Hehehe, Deffi=Defence=<Open Defence>. I think she came up with <Larkers> (Twinlark). Aug-24-08    Mrs. Alekhine: Someone told me there was a lot of <Alekhine> analysis posted here. I looked for an hour but I can't find it!! Can anyone help me out? Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: <Ally!> Or should I say <Mrsy>? Aug-24-08    achieve: You're too khined! Aug-24-08    hoodrobin: <mckmac> I knew and love Tracy Chapman. I think she's linked with Robin Hood. Hi <Domdaniel>. Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: OK, some <Alekhine analysis> for the lady. 1.e4 Nf6 Dr Alekhine's contribution to Hypermodernity. Also to postmodernism, as he didn't invent it personally but got the celebrity endorsement gig. 2.e5 Nd5 3.d4 d6 4.Nf3 dxe5 5.Nxe5 g6 6.Bc4 c6 7.Qf3 Be6 8.Nc3 Nd7 9.0-0 Bg7 10.Re1 0-0 All seems normal. click for larger view 11.Bd2? Played in Chachalev vs Ayupbergenov, Volgograd 1994. 11 ... Nxe5 12.dxe5 Nxc3 Black wins a piece. 0-1 Ay up! Aug-24-08    Domdaniel: <Mrs Al> I neglected to mention <CONGESTION IN THE CENTRE> or <THE OVERWORKED DEFENDER> or <THE LOOSE PIECE> or any of the other *terms of art*. So it possibly doesn't count as analysis at all. Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 399 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
