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

Frogspawn: Levity's Rainbow

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 613 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Oct-07-10    Annie K.: Is that a disqualifier? ;p Oct-07-10    achieve: <And now I've got post-olympiad tristesse blues, or something.> Yes - it really is a kind of escapist Feast, isn't it? There's such an abundance, excessive affluence, of games and interesting results on offer with which one can, MUST!, identify... Btw, as you (we) projected early on Israel was indeed there for the medals in the latter stages, Nederland having to settle for shared 11th, slightly disappointingly. <I forgot to say *dank u wel* for all the wonderful posts recently.> Welcome, ace, though usually the boot is on the other foot, heh, it all evens out somehow, in the long run... Funny phrase, "in the long run"... Oct-07-10    Domdaniel: <Annie> - <Is that a disqualifier?> Unfortunately, yes. Unfortunate because several factors need to combine, such as (1) the normative sense of 'behave' as in the phrase 'behave yourself!, (2) a juvenile 'rebel' attitude on my part, whereby circuits in my brain think of themselves as misbehavior-tropic, (3) just general male imbecility and stuff. Behave, moi? But that would indicate maturity. Not to mention signs of life. Oct-07-10    Domdaniel: <Niels> - < Funny phrase, "in the long run"...> Curious indeed. And oddly contemporary ... more a computer program than a marathon. 'Behave' is also a strange word, sticking two common verbs together. English is a cut-up language. 'To behave suspiciously'. That's when the neighbours call the cops in the valley of squinting windows. Where the one-armed it is banned. Oct-09-10    Annie K.: <Dom: <Behave, moi? But that would indicate maturity. Not to mention signs of life.>> Well yes, I'm aware of the problem... ;) But, for one thing, in your case "behaving" is a largely irrelevant concept anyway... and for another, there's a well-known symbiotic and mutually exacerbating relationship between depression and self-neglect (yes, growing a beard just to avoid shaving counts as such). :p It might help to break out of the circle <somewhere>, is the idea. :) *sigh*, Delilah Oct-09-10    OhioChessFan: "Uh, am I here?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6n5... Oct-10-10    Domdaniel: <Ohio> Nice one. I guess everyone who was in Vietnam knows *some* things about the war better than anyone in the world. <Delilah> Samson I ain't, though I admit I've gone for some Philistine jugulars in my time. It's not depression, though it mimics some of the symptoms. Oct-11-10    Everyone: "Uh, am I here <again>?" Oct-11-10    everyone else: We also know *some* things about the war better than anyone in the world. Oct-13-10    Domdaniel: I know what I know. Ackshully, on second thoughts, I haven't the faintest idea what, if anything, I know. Epistemologicallywise. Oct-16-10    Open Defence: http://www.flickr.com/photos/agnesh... Oct-16-10    Domdaniel: <Deffi> Cool kite. The photographer anyone you know? Hosea is an anagram of my mother's name, O'Shea. Oct-16-10    Open Defence: The photographer is one who uses the perpendicular pronoun... It was "I" Oct-16-10    Domdaniel: <Deffi> You, the perp? I, the perp? You got the bird? You say 'watch the birdie' to the bird, and the bird say 'go fly a kite my fine feathered friend'? Arrrgh I'm lapsing into chrisowenish. Ballad of a Kite <Meanwhile in Fur & Feather Land The shytte has hit the fan And everyone is getting out While they believe they can. Yes, even golfers eat their greens And look for a fair way Since Tom Kite scored a birdie And an albatross stopped play. And Samuel Taylor Coleridge He's off to Xanadu With a damsel and a dulcimer And laudanum for the stew. Chessplayers, they're the last to leave "The flag's not fallen yet" - and "you don't win by resigning" and more stuff I forget.> Oct-16-10    Open Defence: well we of fine feather do flock together.... Oct-16-10    theodor: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZPY...; watching this clip, I cogitated(cogitus, ergo sum!), that in a while, the univers will disappear(the collaps(shrink) theory), and all this beauty - too! some tears dropped in my vodka. I cant agree!I still hope sombody will take care of!(I dont mean you're the one - I'm only using your forum). servus! Oct-16-10    Domdaniel: <theodor> -- <and all this beauty too> That is, pretty much, what the android played by Rutger Hauer says in his final speech in the film Blade Runner... I posted an edited version on the <R. Hauer> page a few hours ago. Quelle coincidence. Snap. Or as Jessica would say, "Jinx!". This is the full quote: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." Oct-16-10    Domdaniel: <some tears dropped in my vodka> Bog! I love Slavic Country'n'Western music... Songs From a Queue ... Borscht Blues ... Bog's Bang ... Natasha Left Me for a Commissar and my Roubles Turned to Rust/ I'm ridin' next year's Tractor and you won't see me for dust ... Oct-17-10    Open Defence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_yv... Oct-17-10    Domdaniel: Some Sony stuff "unavailable" in my "country", whatever that means. I know little of these supernatural entities. I know that Nintendo is a jealous god, and that Old Rupe reigns in Hell (and leases the servers to heaven). But this Sony Boy? The god of trademarks and codicils, of digital seppuku and spook digits? Bad Karma, garufurendo. My country is a domain without a name. Oct-18-10    theodor: dear Domus Danieli, I'm an autodidact in english, and I'm struggeling the hell finding both words and orthograph. that's why I'm very laconic in my posts(thanks god). my french is better(I've been in the years 67-68 in the lycee franco-ethiopien in addis abeba). your answers are pretty tough for me. then, all these methaphors and artistic references! if possible, translate in french, please. thanks. PS about the coincidence: there is a theory, that ideas grow up in the same time in the air(a kind of inter telepatic field), that's why similar things are invented in different parts of the world in the (nearly)same time.in the end, some relax:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kylr... Oct-18-10    Domdaniel: <theo> ecrire en francais, oui, ca c'est bien possible - mais c'est pas possible ecrire les meme choses ... les idees en francais sont cartesiennes, avec beaucoup des logiques ... logiques sans fonction en anglais. <similar things are invented in different parts> I know this idea well. Some call it a 'morphogenetic field'. I see no evidence for it. Humans tend to think that coincidences are more significant than they really are. There's another reason. When the time is ripe for an idea or invention (electricity, calculus, printing, oxygen) then several people are likely to be working towards it. It has an espece de l'inevitable. My way of saying this -- and I truly don't know if I invented the line or borrowed it -- is this: <It steam engines when it comes steam engine time>. The words are English but the syntax is not from any European language. Maybe an American one such as Hopi. Oct-18-10    jessicafischerqueen: For non Frogs: <ecrire en francais, oui, ca c'est bien possible - mais c'est pas possible ecrire les meme choses ... les idees en francais sont cartesiennes, avec beaucoup des logiques ... logiques sans fonction en anglais. > "The notebook is fresh! Yes molto bueno corn. <Mame> choice of Broadway, horse before cart= function log cutting and fishing." Oct-19-10    Domdaniel: *Madame La Jesse* a la plume de ma tante Oct-19-10    dakgootje: <My way of saying this -- and I truly don't know if I invented the line or borrowed it -- is this: <It steam engines when it comes steam engine time>.> I shall henceforth use that line so often, that people in the future will think I was the one, who thought of it first.
