   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, ...

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: 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.

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 ...

What a most excellent post.>

I second the nomination. Concise, ironic, and hilarious. Well met, whiskey soaked devil.

Jul-03-09  Boomie: <Jessie>

The Team page is aflame with debate over long lines. Even the great Kingcrusher has weighed in with both feet...heh. I'm not sure if I should be proud of myself or afraid of my power. What do you think? Talk amongst yourselves.

Which, my dear Queen, Keeper of the Holy Keys of the Gates of Dawn (well, you would have been if you hadn't lost the bloody things ages ago), brings me to the following:

er, I have forgotten what I was going to say

Terribly sorry

Let's put it this way.

If it's got to where <YOU> are at the point of posting a mild admonishment-

Then it is definitely time for sober, serious, (and comical!) debate and reappraisal.

Because you are not driven by your knee jerk emotions like I am.

In a government, you would be best as "King" or "Grand Piano".

You could use me for "speeches" or "parking the cars", depending on your judgment in particular cases.

A. Fan

Jul-03-09  Boomie: <jessicafischerqueen: Well let them have their fun- although as you say, human fun normally includes an actual "social aspect." This is one of the reasons that "internet chess" is just ridiculous.>

Well, at least it's not as pathetic as InterWeb poker, a game that has a huge social aspect. Drained of the life blood of facial expressions, nervous tics, odd gestures, and ditzy speech, online poker is just a crashing bore.

  jessicafischerqueen: Also-

<Kingscrusher> almost NEVER loses his temper.

His natural state, in fact, is to BEND OVER BACKWARDS to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Even really obnoxious people.

I know this from both public observation, and from a long history of private correspondence with him.

I'm an aggressive loudmouth- he most definitely is not.

So if HE'S got his back up, then there is likely something to get one's back up about.

Jul-03-09  Boomie: <JessieMessyGirl: In a government, you would be best as "King" or "Grand Piano".>

Tickle my ivories, baby...wudever that means.

Anyhoo, the game page is a lot more fun to read now. That's progress.

  jessicafischerqueen: Well yes- human battle lines are being drawn at the moment...

Making the thread almost akin to an actual chess game....

Curious, isn't it?

That's it for me though.

One irresponsible post per game.

I've got better things to do. I believe I'll head over to the barber shop...

HAHAHAHAHAAHAH

haircuts...

HAHJAHAHAAHAHAH

Jul-03-09  Boomie: Haircut...hmmm. Haven't had one for two years. I miss that tingly feeling of the razor buzzing on the back of my neck. Wooo.
Jul-03-09
Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: <Tim>

Noooo!

That's too exciting.

WATCHING people getting the haircuts, as per <Whiskey's> suggestion-

That's where the *real* action is.

Thanks for your gallant defence of me as well.

<Artar> the "I'm only 1400 rated" chess genius has seen fit to single me out for public ridicule-

So I had to bite back.

Bloody weakie.

No time for that.

Unbelievable.

Jul-03-09  Boomie: <Jessie>

Time to do your breathing exercises and decompress. We can't have you burst a blood vessel at Phrogspawn.

Just watch how the hair on the floor blows back and forth...back and forth...listen to my voice and only my voice...back and forth...the hair.

  jessicafischerqueen: Well OK- I respect you too much to quibble.

I think I've made my point.

I just took a bracing walk in the 60 degree centigrade evening air...

The Giant Korean Spiders are starting to hatch.

They are the size of gnats now. But in three short weeks they grow to the size of Tabby Cats.

And they are everywhere....

(not kidding)

  jessicafischerqueen: Er.. why is there hair on your floor?
Jul-03-09  Trigonometrist: Why is there flour on my hair?...

But I was drinking beer...*tipsy*..not bakin'...

Hey...I can see three screens now...

What am I doing at the barber's?...

No,No! don't snip yet!

Oh yeah I'm bald...

One Kalashnikov..red..

Jul-03-09  Boomie: <Giant Korean Spiders>

As Woody Allen said "The size of a Buick".

I love spiders. Anybody who eats mosquitoes has got my vote.

When I lived in the country, I nurtured a collection of long legged girls. That was a fascinating study. They cooperated with each other. When one had eggs ripe and ready for hire, she'd move into the back of a cupboard that they decorated as a nursery. One of her sisters would stand guard at the entrance until the little buggers were ready to set out on their own. I really miss those girls.

Jul-03-09  hms123: <jess> Whew! I just woke up and read the Umansky discussion. It was better than coffee in terms of getting my system up and running.

You certainly exposed the fault lines in the group. <kw> in particular would like to be the dictator of the team and assign people to do his work for <his> CC game with Umansky.

I love those flashes of the <jess> who would be my BFF if she just lived fewer than 12,000 miles away.

Kudos to <Boomie> and <kingscrusher> as well. That would be one <kudo> for each, of course.

Jul-03-09  Boomie: <jessicafischerqueen: Er.. why is there hair on your floor?>

I just moved in to the barber shop.

  jessicafischerqueen: <H-Bomb>

Thanks!

I was a bit worried when I saw your message at my place.

I thought you may have had a few "stern words" for me, since I deviated from your suggested posting guidelines.

However, I was recently relieved to learn, via a jovial EMU, that the "big boss" is not at all upset with me these days.

Hopefully this state of affairs continues, as I've said my piece and I can return to following your guidelines.

<BFF> I must say you are up on the latest "youth lingo"...

Is your wife aware of how hip you are?

Maybe you should lay low- still waters ruin sheep, I've heard.

Or something like that.

At any rate, you know about <Kingscrusher>-- to get that guy angry, you REALLY have to try REALLY hard.

He is so incredibly tolerant and patient, by nature-- he's one of those guys, like I said- that if HE loses his temper then you better believe he's got REALLY REALLY good reason for it.

I regularly blow a gasket on no provocation at all, so you can't really go by me in these matters.

May you soon find a reputable Wine Dealer who will provide you with some <Bleached Owl- Now with Screwtop>.

It's excellent with canned corned beef on a shingle.

  jessicafischerqueen: In case no one noticed, <Dom> has just changed the name of his forum for the <Third> time in a week...

Do you think we should organize an "intervention"?

I've always wanted to be in one.

Or even the subject of one.

They sound like fun.

Jul-03-09  hms123: <jess> I am always on the side of <Truth, Justice, and the Canadian Whey>. I thought you were tempered in your remarks in light of my extensive knowledge of how high your <temper>ature can go under the wrong circumstances. So no stern words--just awe.

Don't underestimate the good will you have built up with your various community service activities.

I have to keep up with the lingo of youth today or I wouldn't understand a thing that is said in my class. Alternatively, they don't understand me so why should I understand them? Something to be pondered.

  jessicafischerqueen: Heh- yes, and since you are the one doling out the grades, it's <you> who gets to take his ball and go home if it comes down to it.

heh

Bloody students.

Jul-03-09  crawfb5: The H-ster should always take his with him when he goes home. To do otherwise would be painful.

Interventions are one of those things that sound more fun than they are. Not that I have any personal experience to draw upon...however Doreen does occasionally threaten me with a "crawfrontation."

Jul-03-09  myschkin: . . .

<jfq> "thx" for deleting my message in your forum - hats up, well done (wimpy)!

  Domdaniel: Good golly. What a lot of ... conversation since yesterday. What brought this on?

I think I agree with Jess's perfectly-formed rant about engines. The slave analogy doesn't quite stand up, however. You can use slaves to make more slaves, but computers don't breed true.

<ak;fdjakfjdfjakfja;skfdjfakfjfkdjfa;kfjk> does actually contain information if you know where to look.

  jessicafischerqueen: Did you know that <Thomas Jefferson> kept computers?

There are dark rumors about what he did with them...

<myschkin> buy a Premium membership and maybe I'll let you post in a forum where people are willing to support this website with the actual money it takes to run it. Until then whine to someone else.
