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 435 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Oct-25-08    Woody Wood Pusher: Kramnik is staring into the eye of defeat, give him a break and look away next game <Dom>. Oct-25-08    Domdaniel: <Woody> Sure, OK. I've got some wet paint on my wall, I might watch it dry instead... PS - can I quote you on that? "Give Kramnik a break" - WWP. Oct-25-08    Woody Wood Pusher: p.s. come and visit my palace for the pre-Kramnik-whipping party. (coke is on the house, just bring your own surface) Oct-25-08    Woody Wood Pusher: I don't know if I can let you quote me on that <Dom>, I thought this was just a private and informal party. But if you're still interested in making that donation... Oct-25-08    Domdaniel: Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you. Oct-25-08    hms123: <dom> <Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you.> This is one of my all-time favorite expressions. where did you find it?--hms Oct-25-08    Open Defence: some days you drink the beer, some days the beer drowns you... Oct-25-08    achieve: <hms> Yes... Remarkable Refractory Time involved there as well. Oct-26-08    jessicafischerqueen: *FroggenFarben* Oct-26-08    jessicafischerqueen: Hi <Dom> and <FroggenFarbenFellows>! You may be pleased to know that I wasted an entire Sunday investigating <ancient history> in various systems of the <English Opening>. Here is one of the results of my Quixotic interest in Pommish Chess archaeology: Game Collection: Staunton plays the English Opening I even wrote an introduction for this one that mentions real chess moves and everything@!! heh... Bloody Poms... Oct-26-08    Domdaniel: <Jess> But Sunday is only *starting* ... how can you have wasted one? Bloody timezones. Oct-26-08    jessicafischerqueen: It's nae worries <Dahm>, by the time it's tomorrow it will already have been passing yesterday here today. "Is it not passing brave, To be a Frog and ride in glory Through Persepolis"? -Christopher Marlowe From his great play <Dr. Froggus> Oct-26-08    Domdaniel: <hms> I dunno. All I can add is that 'bear' should be pronounced 'baar' ... suggesting a North American mountain man? Or mountain woman, of course. Oct-26-08    jessicafischerqueen: I understand you dated <Kantuck: Frontierswoman> for a time. Oct-26-08    Domdaniel: "Some days you eat the bear .. etc" was popular in the 1970s - it was used as an album title by country-folkie Ian Matthews, and Joan Armatrading had a song, 'Eating the Bear'. But it was certainly in use in the 1950s. Some sources attribute the line to William Faulkner. Others say that it goes back more than a century. Jessica is a leading Faulkner expert and may be able to help. Oct-26-08    Open Defence: tomorrow we get to blow up things... got anything yer wanna blow up ? Oct-26-08    jessicafischerqueen: <Deffi> Is it "St. Amant's Day" already? Tempis Fugit!! <Faulkner expert> I'm sorry, but you may have me confused with <Kantuck: Frontierswoman>. I don't recall that line from any <Faulkner> material. I certainly recall the sublime Faulkner story <The Bear> from the great collection "Go Down Moses", written by Robbie Robertson and the Band. It is fiction you can live in. Mrs. Has a brother who actually shot a Black Bear and made a freaking rug out of it which is hanging from the wall in his trailer down by the river right beside the Cougar rug he made from the Cougar he shot as well (all true- I have photographic evidence). heh.. My big brother is a hunter... Regards, Kantuck: Frontierswoman Oct-26-08    Red October: tomorrow is Diwali!!! Oct-26-08    jessicafischerqueen: In case you didn't know! From Wikipedia article: <DIWALI>!! <Deepavali, or Divali is a major Indian festival, and a significant festival in Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism. [3] Many legends are associated with Diwali. Today it is celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs across the globe as the "Festival of Lights," where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being. The festival is also celebrated by Buddhists of Nepal, particularly the Newar Buddhists. In England, Diwali is known as "St Amant's Day", after the great French chess player who used to light up to 20,000 candles after every victory over Howard Staunton.> Oct-26-08    Red October: we just like to blow up things, like a Guy named Fawkes...... I believe he used to have a Spanish fellow as a butler.. whatisname ? Manuel ? Que ? Oct-26-08    jessicafischerqueen: "Remarkable Moose, Fawlty! Japanese?" "Er... Canadian, I think Major (under his breath) He's started early.." Oct-26-08    Red October: Basil! Oct-26-08    Domdaniel: If yon creature's a moose, how big are the cats? Oct-26-08    hms123: <Dom> Thanks for the bear-y good information. (for <OD> we can make that "beer-y good"). Faulkner lived not far from here. They seem proud of him down there in Mississississippi (I know how to spell it but don't know when to stop) but they're not sure why. Oct-26-08    Domdaniel: "Como il Basilisco ..." Didn't <Dante> say that? Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 435 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
