   Jan-06-19 G McCarthy vs M Kennefick, 1977 (replies)
 
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 ...

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 (replies)
 
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 ...

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 ...

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 (replies)
 
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 ...

Frogspawn: Levity's Rainbow

Kibitzer's Corner
< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 431 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
Oct-19-08  Woody Wood Pusher: <My alternative name was <The Spanish Virgins Club> ... but who wants a pile of Spanish Virgins cluttering up their joint?>

There is no such thing as a Spanish virgin, trust me, they either have secret lovers, or just brothers.

There are no virgins south of 1995 and alcol-pops.

Oct-19-08  Red October: <There is no such thing as a Spanish virgin, trust me, they either have secret lovers, or just brothers> Dom is a <Spanish Virgin>, he somehow escaped the attentions of the Spanish Bishop
Oct-19-08  Red October: * croak *
Oct-19-08  Woody Wood Pusher: <Dom is a <Spanish Virgin>, he somehow escaped the attentions of the Spanish Bishop>

Actually it had more to do with the poor lighting in the confessions booth than with luck.

Brings a whole new meaning to 'don't keep anything in your back pocket'

He was a handful of loose change away from fiery damnation!...or at least a very creative story about body piercings.

  Domdaniel: <your lily pad or mine> Sorry, the lily pad is currently occupied by Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts, and I'm not allowed to describe what they're doing.

<Spanish Virgins> - In this context, a Spanish Virgin is somebody who has never played either side of a Ruy Lopez, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 ... weird stuff, I know, but unaccountably popular.

A Spanish Virgin.

  Domdaniel: <Woody> I see you have your very own stalker already ... or fan/ mimic/ doppelganger/ sockpuppet/ whatever ... going by some name like *Woolly Wool Puller*?

That was fast.

Oct-19-08  Woody Wood Pusher: Typing out the moves on your own is no substitute for the real thing <Dom>, plus it will make you go blind....I'm off to buy some groceries, now where'd I leave my stick.
Oct-19-08  Woody Wood Pusher: <Dom> Yes I am aware of this little cockroach who bothered to make a new account just to launch a sad attempt at parody.

I suspect that <Wooly wool puller> is actually nothing more than a <stupid duck> and I have never bothered to give him the satisfaction of actually making a reply to any of his infantile parroting.

Some people are sad, some just make you want to vomit.

  Domdaniel: Ducks parroting? Frogs morphing into toads? Must be the end of the world, then.

Armageddon outta here...

Oct-19-08  Woody Wood Pusher: Hey <Dom>, since you have clearly been around here a while, long enough to write 10,000 posts anyway, I was wondering, where is your <stalker/ fan/ mimic/ doppelganger/ sockpuppet/>

Did you have him taken out back? Do you know somebody I can call?

Oct-19-08  valiant: <jessicafischerqueen: What a great avatar!! Nederlander?>

Hej, it looks a bit like tulip-fields before the windmill... So quite possible.

Oct-19-08  brankat: <Domdaniel> A belated idea for the forum's name. Inspired by:

"In Xanadu did Kublai Khan
a Pleasure Dome decree.."

Therefore: "Dom's Pleasure Dome". :-)

Premium Chessgames Member
  Domdaniel: <brankat> Does this look like *pleasure* to you? I'm glad somebody thinks so. But "Dom's Pleasure Dome" might attract the wrong sort of client, looking for laudanum and loose women.

Come to think of it, in my youth such things as applications and university registration forms had a space on them for 'religion'. I used to amuse myself my making up a new one each time, which is how I came to be a founding bishop of <Harvey's Bristol Witnesses> and also a devout member of the <Paradoxical Hedonists>, whose sole credo and lone tenet was "Pleasure takes all the pleasure out of pleasure".

  jessicafischerqueen: <Dom>

Hey what happened to <Frogspawn>?

I'm pretty sure <Toads> don't spawn.

I believe they are made by <Milton-Bradley>.

Sorry about the mix up.

A legion of sockpuppets gained control of my passwords, creating the recent havoc in domicile nomenclature.

My forum has it's originally intended title now.

Sorry everyone!!

  jessicafischerqueen: <TEN THOUSAND LASHES> HHA

HAHAHAHAAHAHAAH

heh

One is left speechless...

Well anyone else maybe.

HAHAHAAHAHAAHAAH

As much as I appreciate the "sentiment" behind such a name, I have to confess I miss <Frogspawn>.

Mrs. Bacteria.

(Dom, is it true that Frogs are a form of bacteria? I was always a bit confused about that part in your profile)

Oct-19-08  Mrs. Alekhine: Who shot who in the whatsiz now?

  jessicafischerqueen: Kia Ora!

Hi <Dom> I'm at "work" again.

Funny word, that.

Anyhoo, just letting you know how much fun it is to play <mckmac's> Folding Sentences game.

I never played before.

I hope you can join us in the next round. I just sent in today's submissions and I found it quite shocking. Well too late to change it now, it's been sent into the ether.

Mrs. Enjoys a good word game.

Auckland

BTW, I forgot to ask <Matt>--

What does "Kia Ora" mean?

I know it's a greeting, but does it mean "Golden Kiwi" or something like that?

Oct-19-08

  Domdaniel: Kia Ora? I thought it was a drink. As in "Five pints of Old Peculiar and a Kia Ora, please - oh, and some crunchy frogs."

That sort of thing. Our friend <m> is far too temperate for the role of resident alcoholic, so I thought I'd have a go at it.

Kia ora? Don't mind if I do ... hic.

  Domdaniel: I suppose we're all forms of bacteria really. Except for those 'people' who are really viruses.

Christ, I sound as nutty as Phil Dick. "There exist in the universe fierce cold things that I call machines..."

Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: Heh... speaking of <fierce cold machines>, I'd really like to hear about the "inside info" you recently got from <PG 13>.

Perhaps a ROC when you get a chance?

Remember, the ROC needn't be longer than a gnat's bum. Nor shorter than an elephant's.

Did you know the "St. Roc" was a Canadian boat that was the first to navigate the Northwest Passage?

Course, now the "passage" is a maritime freeway thanks to Global Warming.

I hear several waterskiing companies are operating up there now.

  jessicafischerqueen: Ahhh== <frogspawn> returns.

All is right with the world...

And a somethingy something somethings my somethings...

Dang these English Romantic poets aren't as memorable as I remembered them....

  Domdaniel: <Jess> I have retrieved and replaced Frogspawn. Ta. Sort of belonged here, I guess.

I warn you that the conversation with PG was brief. But it did touch on chess.

I'll do that Roc. Where to begin, eh? The times we've had...

PS. You say the globe is *warming*? Why hasn't anyone said anything?

*evil drunken doppelganger breaks in*
Heh, I like a warm globe myself...

  Domdaniel: <If James Bond was really Billy Bunter>:

Sweating heavily, Bunt lumbered up the steps by the pool. "You're a dashed sadist, Goldmember", he said, "insisting on meeting here. You know I have no head for heights."

"Just so, Mr Bunt" hissed the sinister Slav sibilantly. "Of course I am sadist, as you will see presently when Rosie here gets to work on your tentacles" - he indicated a strapping pale young man with a sullen African leer and an inscrutable Korean snarl, clearly a tribute to the evils of miscegenation. "But in the meantime I believe you wanted to sell some government secrets, yes? I have brought a ten-shilling postal order, as you suggested."

"Ten bob won't feed my laudanum habit for long" wheedled Bunter. "Any chance of a guinea? I've got all the plans for a British atom bomb here, you know. It uses special British atoms, terribly hush-hush."

"Just so, Mr Bunt" leered Goldmember redundantly. "And that, I'm afraid, is why Rosie will have to do a number on your tentacles. Is that the word, 'tentacles'?"

Rosie stood up suddenly, flexing his knuckles in a limp-wristed way. "Yarooh!" squealed Bunter, pulling his tiny derringer from his loincloth and shooting him dead.

Goldmember stared impassively at the body in the pool for what seemed like a long time but was only a couple of hours. "Extra time for my pool staff" he quipped sadly. "I shall deduct their pittance from your guinea", he sighed.

"Yaroo!" repeated Bunter, but now with more conviction. "You think I'd sell my bally country for a pound with a shilling on top? We're talking a fiver now, specially since you forced me to use my double-oh licence."

"Double-oh?" snapped Goldmember. "You mean you've castled out of check?
