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 442 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-14-08    Red October: Tingle Belles Tingle Belles, Tingle all the way... Nov-15-08    Domdaniel: linger shot, longers hit, hot slinger, host linger, string hole, resting hol, etc. Nov-15-08    Eyal: <'Nosher', I'm not so sure about: 'nosh' means food or grub, so perhaps a nosher is a glutton.> Yeah, it actually has an OED entry: <nosher, n. colloq. A person who is fond of snacking or nibbling on food; a snacker; a diner. In early use: spec. a person who samples food before buying it. [Probably partly - Yiddish nasher (- Middle High German nascher, nescher (German Nascher, (now rare) Nächer) person with a sweet tooth - Naschen, neschen to eat dainty food or delicacies (see NOSH v.) + -er -ER suffix1), and partly - NOSH v. + -ER suffix1.]> (Earliest example of usage from 1917) Nov-15-08    Open Defence: so perhaps he liked a lot of freebies ? Nov-15-08    Woody Wood Pusher: <Dom> Did you know about this little gem I also found in the Short forum, "it is well known in England that Short and Tony Miles fell out over who played top board at the Dubai Olympiad in 1986, where England finished second to the USSR by half a point, but writing:- " I obtained a measure of revenge not only by eclipsing Tony in terms of chess performance, but also by sleeping with his girlfriend, which was definitely satisfying but perhaps not entirely gentlemanly" <in Tony Miles's obituary in the Sunday Telegraph written by Short>" Talk about having to have the last word, putting this in Miles' obituary is about as low as you can go (doing it in the first place was bad enough). In fact, going any lower would probably involve a visit to the sematary with some toilet-paper. Even the microscopic respect I had for Short vanished when I read this, and I told him as much in his forum, and now I am being 'ignored'. HA! Like I have anything further to say to such a scoundrel anyway! Nov-15-08    Open Defence: probably thats why he was called Nosher ? coz he sampled... Nov-15-08    Open Defence: I hope Ponomariov rises up the rankings again, very talented boy Nov-15-08    Domdaniel: <Woody> It fits with his view of chess, which is disturbingly erectile. Short's version of Nimzo's "Restrain, blockade, destroy" is TDF - Trap, Dominate, eh, Fornicate. Or something like that. Nov-15-08    Open Defence: I blame the Bishops Nov-15-08    Woody Wood Pusher: <TDF - Trap, Dominate, eh, Fornicate.> Sounds more like a profile on the FBI's most wanted list than a chess mnemonic. Nov-15-08    Open Defence: or a club on the East End that books the Village People on Fridays Nov-15-08    Woody Wood Pusher: hehe yea Or an after-school detention with the PE teacher. Nov-16-08    mack: <Open Defence: ...on the East End...> Bear pardon, dear? Nov-16-08    Open Defence: < mack: <Open Defence: ...on the East End...> Bear pardon, dear? > <mack> its all tongue in cheek which is another great name for a club :) Nov-17-08    Open Defence: Then there was the Lady from Cuttack Who played a mean King's Indian Attack Nf3 and g3 was plain for all to see But did she know a Bishop's no good in the sack ? Nov-17-08    Open Defence: *I Blame Bishops* Nov-17-08    mack: Blimey, I can't even write three words without some bizarre typo these days. *Bear* pardon, dear?! What does that even *mean*? Nov-17-08    Open Defence: you met Yogi in the park? :) Nov-17-08    Domdaniel: <mack> I thought the traduction (Sohoification?) of the East End would attract your attention. As for 'bear pardon', isn't it just a case of your thoughts running ahead of themselves? Like accidentally playing the last move of a brilliant combination without the preliminaries? And head-butting the walls ... Of course there are also complex psychological explanations - like, say, a basic reluctance to use the word 'beg' gets scrambled with a slight anticipatory hesitation over the word 'dear', with obvious consequences. I suppose it might have been worse. "I begat your progeny", perhaps. Funny how chess players always get asked how many moves ahead they can see, but nobody asks us writer types how many words ahead we're thinking. 'Just one - the best one' doesn't seem to work so well with words. What with puns and cross-pollination and Pollarding. Nov-17-08    Open Defence: I am impressed with the Sapphoistication of your post Nov-17-08    Open Defence: btw I am writing a book about a British GM called "Nunn's Bishops" Nov-17-08    whiteshark: <Open Defence> Is a "Nunn's Bishops" an underpromoted Queen? Nov-17-08    Open Defence: A Knight in Queen's clothing perhaps Nov-17-08    Domdaniel: <The Queen's Bishop's Nunn's Tail> Wasn't that one of Chaucer's medieval romps? One of the Canterbuggery Tales, maybe? Nov-17-08    Domdaniel: <Deffi> I'd be pleased to Sapphoisticate, but I seem to be <chromosomally challenged>. I suppose there's always the Snipitoff Variation ... Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 442 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
