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 461 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-13-09    Woody Wood Pusher: <OD><and drop the exchange on move 6> Wow, that is courteous, and I thought the age of chivalry was dead! Jan-17-09    achieve: <Dom> Good luck with your tourney! (If you are, in fact, playing in one this weekend, as I recall you saying earlier) Jan-17-09    Domdaniel: <Niels> Thanks. I, in fact, am ... and I won the first game. Now off to the torture of a three-game Saturday ... Jan-17-09    achieve: <Dom> Very good. I do not have energy management advice, like, erm.., "Tournament Nutritional Advice A La Deffi", but go and Break Some Hearts, and feed off that. Off you go... Jan-17-09    mack: <Dom> On 28 June 2008, you said: <My idea is that (the better) song lyrics (Cohen, Dylan, Costello, Cale, Bowie, Young, Mitchell, Pollard, Stanshall, Reed, and, um, me) are comparable to the <Lost Postmodernity> of Silent Cinema.> I now insist upon reading more. Jan-18-09    jessicafischerqueen: <ATTENTION- NEW FEATURE ARTICLE IN MY PROFILE BY <<<EYAL SEGAL>>>> In honor of the One Year Anniversery of <Bobby Fischer's> Death: <BOBBY FISCHER- ANALYSIS AND APPRAISAL OF MY FAVORITE 20 GAMES> by Eyal Segal (<Eyal Segal> is this year's winner of the <CAISSAR AWARD> for <Best Analyst>, so be sure to click on all of the games links in this article in order to see Eyal's analysis of interesting points and highlights in each of the 20 Fischer brilliancies in this collection) Article and Game Links with the Analysis: jessicafischerqueen chessforum Jan-20-09    Domdaniel: <mack> Insist away, but I can't see how my 'idea' makes any sense at all. Many of them don't. More braincells left behind at a chess tournament, I suppose. Jan-20-09    achieve: Please, say it ain't so!! For every lost cell you gain at least 3... Good to see you pop up again, though maybe not the happiest camper. So what. Nobody is. Jan-20-09    Domdaniel: <Niels> A tired camper rather than an actually unhappy one. I did OK, up to a point -- a draw with the #2 seed, two piece-sacs-plus-mating-attacks which both ended with me playing Qf7#, and a game where I offered a draw after a boring opening, was turned down - it was another higher-rated guy - and I went on to win the ending. But I took the gloss off with a stupid last-round loss. A tradition of sorts. Thanks anyhow. Jan-20-09    Open Defence: <But I took the gloss off with a stupid last-round loss. A tradition of sorts.> Tal's tradition was an opening round loss Jan-20-09    hms123: <Dom> It sounds as if you did reasonable well. Do we get to see some of the successes? Jan-20-09    achieve: <Dom> Chin up! Though I can see how a last game loss can be a major bugger. That can knock the wind out of your sails for a while, I understand. Sounds to me like you played 5 promising rounds of more than satisfactory Chess. Jan-20-09    Stonehenge: I recently lost three good games in time trouble, as can be seen on the last page of my little forum. Quite annoying but it was my own fault of course. Sigh... Jan-20-09    achieve: PS - <Dom> Sure you're extremely tired. After all the demands on your brain have been extreme, for days in a row, and you are not used to it. The expenditure of energy does not have a distinct profile; you just know when it hits you. I know from experience. In my opinion you done great. Jan-20-09    jessicafischerqueen: Yes well done <Dombey and Sons>. And here I was thinking you were off skylarking with <starlets>. It sounds like you did excellent to me!! Can you post your games where you got to checkmate the guy? Also, how long till <Easter Bunratty of the Stars> tournament? I have to get busy writing the <official promo> for that august event. Jan-21-09    Domdaniel: Hey, <Jess>. I imagine that the fabled <Easter Bunratty of the Stars> event will be held at Easter, a famous Xtian festival. Unfortunately, the actual date of Easter moves around, and the method of calculation is hidden in the Vatican library along with the papal porn collection. I've heard it involves Chinese trigonometry - that's easter, not the other thing. Anyway, I may not play in Bunratty this year. But I will play in the Cork 'Masters' in March - the one where last year I lost to Baburin in the first round. I hear there's a live GM thingy going on somewhere? Is it in the middle of the night? Do they let irreverent kibitzers in? Jan-21-09    Domdaniel: Meanwhile -- since those weekend exertions -- I wrote an article about Beckett's play 'Endgame', trying to explain in laypersonese that an endgame is more than just the end of the game. Which everyone here knows. But there are interpretations of the play which get it all wrong - in my 'umble hopinion - by talking about the ending as just the last few moves before victory or defeat, in any game. Without boring the readers with chessic intricacies, I tried to convey the flavour of an endgame - kings emerging, subtle changes in values of pieces, etc. I even observed that Beckett and Duchamp were endgame fans, which is relatively rare among chess players. I thought about saying "imagine that if a poker game went on long enough the rules changed and it became bridge" or "imagine if football games were decided by a penalty shoot-out". But ... hang on, they *are*. So I scrapped that bit. Imagine if a game of Ice Hockey turned into Synchronized Swimming ... Jan-21-09    Domdaniel: <Dombey and Sons> ... how very Dickensian. Does that mean we all have Dickens names as well as Hobbit names? *Little Jess*, *Tiny Tim*, *Mr Mack Awber*, *Deffi Copperfield* and so on? Who's Scrooge? Jan-21-09    jessicafischerqueen: <Scrooge McDuck>!! Quack Jan-21-09    Domdaniel: Ahhh, the dreaded <purple Quack>. I resign. Just like Quack's opponents always do. Jan-21-09    Ragh: Purple?! Wasn't it Blue before? In its pristine and unclicked original form. The color transformation is an Internet Audit trial, perhaps, to indicate the lost innocence and absorbed knowledge!! Jan-21-09    achieve: Nice try. The dreaded purple Quack indeed. What's new? Click me, and tell me what you like to discuss. I'll respond next week. Sooner if possible. bleehh <Dom> +2 Jan-22-09    Domdaniel: I'll respond next *year*. Sooner if possible. (It's been a long century.) <Dom 2.3> Jan-23-09    jessicafischerqueen: Quack that's right. I said Quack!!! Jan-23-09    Domdaniel: Quack quack to you too, my Queen. Has anyone mentioned that this chess stuff is highly addictive? Not only did I spend a weekend at a gruelling tournament, but today I stayed glued to <Magnet Boy> vs <The Car-jack Kid> until my eyeballs popped. Pop. pop. Will I never learn?
