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

Mar-23-10    OhioChessFan: <Honza> should ask <RandomVisitor> to post a Rybka eval with Aneta being the highest rated and thus earn an automatic and fast 500 votes from Chessgames users. Mar-23-10    hms123: <OCF> That is the funniest comment of the year. Mar-24-10    OhioChessFan: <I know they have to ask. I must be frustrating to deal with.

Mar-24-10    Domdaniel: Before <Frogspawn> mutates into a butterfly -- yeah, I know we got weird biology on Planet Frog, it's the radiation -- here are some 'world proverbs' on the subject: A frog in a well is best off in a well. (Chinese) If a man falls in love with a frog, he thinks his frog a goddess. (Russian) Where there are no swamps there are no frogs. (German) and the soundtrack: This is a song from under the floorboards/ this is a song from where the walls are cracked (Magazine) + This is a song from the bottom of a well/ I didn't move here, I just fell ... but if I'm not here, you're not there (Kevin Ayers) Mar-24-10    OhioChessFan: Umulgaseo suknyungcheojneunda Mar-24-10    OhioChessFan: <dom: I know they have to ask. I must be frustrating to deal with. But how can I know what I think until I see what I've said?> <OCF: Digression> <Odie: even more uncomfortable is <indigression>> I just realized yelling Digression! at someone in Frog's Pawn is redundant. Mar-25-10    jessicafischerqueen: Marcel by lamplight- guess what he's doing? http://www.toutfait.com/images/News... Mar-25-10    mack: <Don't get me started. <mack> is cringing already.> Perhaps. But it's nothing compared to the sheer horror I felt when you started channeling William Burroughs in a Galway hotel room. Mar-25-10    Domdaniel: <mack> I only made with the verbals. The full performance involves sex, drugs and lizards... Mar-25-10    Domdaniel: Which reminds me. Cork 'masters' open is this weekend. Guess I'd better play, redistribute some more rating points to the deserving poor... Mar-25-10    Domdaniel: <Annie> -- <Army service is no game> I quite agree ... apart from the trivial sense in which *anything* can be turned into a game. But I always said I couldn't live in a country with army service, no matter how many personal exemptions I qualify for. Burroughs, whom <mack> saw me impersonating, cut off a finger in 1942. Gibson moved to Canada from the USA around 1970. Smart moves. Mar-25-10    Annie K.: <Deffi: <credible creditors and doable debtors ?>> The second one seems a bit of a stretch, the first is a nice find. And <indigression>, heh. :) <OCF> That's a 100% success rate for funny posts on this page. Good work! <Dom> re.: <army/ies> - Well, the issue is not that simple. And... I don't mind discussing this further, but not in public. <Dom: <<mack> I only made with the verbals. The full performance involves sex[...]>> Arguably, a waste of a perfectly good hotel room...? :p Mar-25-10    OhioChessFan: All patrons of the Commentariat, please go to this site and vote for the lovely Aneta. Then wait 60 minutes and vote again. http://kladensky.denik.cz/miminka/m...

Did you at least get Honza to promise that Aneta would play chess by the age of three? :p Mar-26-10    Domdaniel: <Annie> Yep. Agreed. Different channel for *that* one. Gawd, you're so *direct*. Think of me as Oscar Wilde, without steroids or carnations. Or something more Joyce/Pynchon-esque, the last humeme encyclopedia, gone fossil in the dunes. If that helps. I seem to be playing chess this weekend. Departing soon for tournament. Unprepared and bedraggled. I'll be back when I can disorganize it. Mar-26-10    Annie K.: HA. I knew you were only pretending to be unembarrassable! :p Good luck. :) Mar-26-10    Open Defence: [Event "Chessgames.com 2008 New Year Invitational"] [Site "http://gameknot.com/"] [Date "2010.03.25"] [Round "-"] [White "weaponofchoice"] [Black "wagenaar"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [WhiteElo "2290"] [BlackElo "2109"] 1. d4 d6 2. e4 c6 3.

Mar-26-10    Domdaniel: Speaking of draws, I began with one. I was winning - after an unsound piece sac I somehow wriggled into an ending with four good pawns for a bad knight - but he *did* ask me nicely. So I lack the killer instinct. We all knew that. Not a bad result in rating terms, actually, though previous encounters between us were also drawn. Onwards. Saturday looms.
